Contract value

$300,000

The solicitation does not disclose any budget or contract value. Typical state‑advocacy contracts for a county of Cuyahoga’s size often range from a few hundred thousand dollars up to low‑millions, depending on the scope and duration of services. Because the RFQ seeks qualifications rather than a detailed price proposal, the county likely anticipates a modest annual spend, perhaps $250,000‑$500,000 for a one‑year term of lobbying services. Considering the lack of explicit figures and the nature of qualification‑based solicitations, a reasonable ball‑park estimate is roughly $300,000.
