Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

The budget for this contract is likely to be substantial, given the complexity and scale of the drone light shows. The contractor will need to provide a minimum of 500 drones per show, as well as programming, logistics, and safety services. The estimated budget range could be between $200,000 and $500,000, considering the costs of drone procurement, programming, and logistics. However, this is a rough estimate and the actual budget could be higher or lower, depending on the specific requirements of the contract and the contractor's bid. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the number of shows, the location of the shows, the complexity of the drone programming, and the level of safety and security required.
