Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

Based on the information provided, the estimated budget for this opportunity can be calculated by considering the minimum reserve payment percentage of 5% of gross receipts. Assuming an average annual gross receipt of $100,000, the minimum reserve payment would be $5,000 per year. For a 5-year contract, the total budget would be around $250,000. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual budget may vary depending on various factors such as the actual gross receipts, the vendor's pricing, and other expenses. The estimated budget range for this opportunity is between $200,000 and $500,000. This range takes into account the potential variability in gross receipts and the vendor's pricing, as well as other expenses that may be incurred during the contract period.
