Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

The budget for this contract is not explicitly stated in the document. However, considering the scope of work, which includes testing and recertification of 160 life raft cylinders, and the period of performance, the budget could be estimated to be in the range of $200,000 to $500,000. This estimate is based on the assumption that the cost per cylinder is between $1,250 and $3,125, which is a rough estimate considering the complexity of the work and the requirements for compliance with Department of Transportation Special Permit 16320. Factors that may influence the likely payment range include the level of expertise and resources required for the testing and recertification process, as well as the costs associated with shipping and handling the cylinders.
