Contract value

$1,000,000

The award notice does not disclose the contract value. Estimating based on typical school‑bus maintenance costs: a midsize district like Chesapeake Public Schools likely operates 200–300 buses. Annual preventive‑maintenance and repair budgets for each bus range from $3,000 to $5,000, depending on age and mileage. Multiplying 250 buses by an average of $4,000 yields roughly $1,000,000 per year. Assuming a multi‑year contract (common for fleet services) of 2 years, the total contract value would be in the vicinity of $2 million. Given the lack of precise data, a conservative ball‑park estimate of **$1,000,000** is presented.
