Contract value

$1,200,000

No contract value is disclosed. Estimating based on typical school‑bus fleet maintenance costs: Chesapeake Public Schools likely operates roughly 150‑200 buses. Industry averages for annual preventive‑maintenance and repair on a school bus range from $1,500 to $2,500 per vehicle. Using a mid‑point of $2,000 per bus for 180 buses yields an annual spend of about $360,000. If the award covers a three‑year period (common for fleet service contracts), the total contract value would be approximately $1,080,000. Adjusting for potential contingencies and administrative overhead, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is roughly **$1.2 million**.
