Budget estimate

$300,000 – $800,000

The budget for this contract can be estimated based on the cost of constructing research skiffs. The cost of a single research skiff can range from $50,000 to $200,000, depending on the size and specifications. Since the Commission anticipates ordering one 22-ft skiff, two 24-ft skiffs, and one 24-ft skiff with an alternate helm configuration, the total budget can be estimated to be around $300,000 to $800,000. This estimate is based on the assumption that the cost of each skiff will be around $100,000 to $200,000. However, the actual budget may vary depending on the bidder's price and the Commission's budget. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the complexity of the skiff design, the materials used, and the bidder's experience in constructing similar vessels.
