Budget estimate

$500,000 – $2,000,000

The RFP does not disclose a contract value. Based on typical school‑district catering contracts that cover daily cafeteria meals, special events, and equipment rentals over several years, a reasonable estimate ranges from a few hundred thousand dollars to low‑single‑digit millions. Assuming an average of 20,000 meals per year at $5‑$10 per meal plus event fees, the total could fall between $500,000 and $2,000,000 over the contract term. Factors influencing the final amount include the number of schools served, frequency of special events, and the scope of rental equipment.
