Budget estimate

$50,000 – $200,000

The budget for this opportunity is difficult to estimate, as the contract will be based on an as-needed basis and the scope of services may vary throughout the term of the agreement. However, considering the University's requirements for talent acquisition, entertainment programming, and event support services, a possible estimate could be in the range of $50,000 to $200,000 per year, depending on the frequency and scale of events. This estimate takes into account the costs associated with talent fees, event production, and logistical support.
