Budget estimate

$50,000 – $150,000

The solicitation does not disclose a budget, but comparable municipal strategic‑planning contracts in New England typically range from $50,000 to $150,000 depending on scope, consultant experience, and project length. Assuming a mid‑size consulting firm delivering a comprehensive plan and multiple workshops, the award could plausibly fall within this band.
