The contract value is difficult to estimate with precision, as the fee schedule is based on the amount of bonds issued. However, based on the fee schedule provided in the contract, the estimated value of the contract can be calculated. The fee schedule is as follows: $1.75 per $1,000 bond for the first $25,000,000, $1.50 per $1,000 bond for the next $25,000,000, $0.75 per $1,000 bond for the next $50,000,000, and $0.40 per $1,000 bond for amounts above $100,000,000. Assuming an average bond issue of $50,000,000, the estimated fee would be $43,750 (=$1.75 x $25,000,000 + $1.50 x $25,000,000). With a minimum fee of $20,000 per transaction, the estimated annual value of the contract would be around $87,500 (=$20,000 x 4.375, assuming 4-5 bond issues per year). Over the five-year term of the contract, the estimated total value would be around $437,500.
