Contract value

$2,079,000

The solicitation notes an estimated cost of $2,000,000. The winning base bid from Ostrow Electrical was $2,079,000 with an alternate priced at $176,200, indicating the actual contract value will be roughly the base price plus any selected alternates. Assuming the City accepts the base bid and the Upper Deck Fill Loud Speaker alternate (Addendum 6), the total would be about $2,255,000. Even without the alternate, the contract will be in the $2.0‑$2.1 million range. This estimate reflects typical costs for arena‑scale loudspeaker arrays, DSP hardware, cabling, labor, and required bonds.
