Contract value

$7,500

No explicit quantity or dollar amount is provided. Assuming the City will purchase books for roughly 300 employees (a typical mid‑size municipal workforce) at an estimated $20 per book yields $6,000. Adding estimated postage of $5 per book brings the total to $7,500. If optional note cards are added at $1 each for the same quantity, the total could approach $9,000. Therefore, a reasonable ballpark estimate for the contract value is between $6,000 and $9,000, with a midpoint estimate of roughly $7,500.
