Budget estimate

$1,000,000 – $1,500,000

The budget for this contract can be estimated based on the cost of providing catering services for the State Operations Center. The cost of meals per person can range from $10 to $30, depending on the type of meal and the number of people being served. Assuming an average cost of $20 per meal, and an average of 50 people being served per meal, the total cost per meal would be $1,000. With three meals per day, the total cost per day would be $3,000. Assuming a 24-month contract period, with an average of 100 days of catering services per year, the total budget for the contract would be approximately $600,000 per year, or $1,200,000 for the entire contract period. However, this is just a rough estimate and the actual budget could be higher or lower, depending on the actual costs and the number of meals served. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the cost of food, labor, and equipment, as well as the number of people being served and the frequency of meals.
