Contract value

$250,000

No explicit contract value is disclosed. Comparable RTK drone surveying contracts for bridge projects in Illinois typically range from $150,000 to $300,000 depending on site complexity, required deliverables, and duration. The scope here includes multiple surveys (pre‑, during‑, post‑construction), volume calculations, and software access, which pushes the estimate toward the higher end of that range. Assuming an average daily rate of $2,500 for a crew of 3 technicians over a 30‑day field period plus data processing and reporting, the total would be roughly $225,000. Adding contingency (≈10 %) for mobilization, travel, and equipment costs brings the ballpark to about $250,000. Therefore a reasonable estimate for the contract value is approximately $250 k.
