Contract value

$400,000

The solicitation does not disclose a total budget. Based on comparable municipal waste‑planning contracts, a comprehensive zero‑waste master plan (including data analysis, stakeholder engagement, multiple reports, and a final graphic deliverable) typically ranges from $250,000 to $500,000. Worcester’s scope is fairly extensive (five task areas, multiple public workshops, and a one‑year implementation plan), suggesting a mid‑range estimate of roughly $350,000‑$450,000. Considering local market rates for consulting firms in Massachusetts, a reasonable ball‑park figure is about $400,000.
