Budget estimate

$1,500,000 – $2,500,000

No explicit fee is disclosed. Based on typical municipal bond counsel fees (approximately $100‑$300 k per $100 million issuance) and assuming 3‑4 bond series per year, the contract could generate roughly $400‑$1.2 million annually. Over a four‑year base term, total compensation might range from $1.5 million to $2.5 million, with extensions potentially increasing the upper bound.
