Contract value

$2,400,000

The solicitation provides placeholder budgets of $150,000 for site security, $300,000 for special equipment, and $300,000 for miscellaneous supplies, totaling $750,000. Hourly labor items (drilling, well development, and well destruction) cover roughly 3,300 hours. Assuming an average hourly rate of $200 (a typical range for specialized drilling crews), labor costs would be about $660,000. Adding the $750,000 placeholders yields an estimated contract value of roughly $2.4 million for the three‑year base period. Including the two optional one‑year extensions (which repeat the $750,000 placeholders) could raise the total to approximately $3.9 million. Therefore, a reasonable ballpark estimate for the base award is about $2.4 million.
