Contract value

$3,000,000

The solicitation does not disclose a specific “not‑to‑exceed” ceiling. Similar district‑wide marketing contracts for multi‑college systems typically range from $1 million to $5 million annually, depending on media spend, creative production, and analytics services. Assuming a modest media budget of $2 million per year plus agency fees (≈15‑20 % of media spend), the 2‑year base contract could be roughly $2.5 million to $3 million. Adding the possibility of three one‑year extensions would increase the potential total to about $5 million. Based on these industry benchmarks, a reasonable ballpark estimate for the awarded contract’s value is approximately $3 million.
