Contract value

$16,500

No monetary amount is disclosed in the source material. Sharpening services for a county medical examiner’s office are typically low‑volume, labor‑intensive tasks. Assuming a modest hourly rate of $75 and an estimated 200 hours of work per year (including travel, setup, and multiple sharpening cycles), the annual cost would be roughly $15,000. Adding a modest materials/overhead surcharge (≈ 10 %) brings the total to about $16,500. Therefore a reasonable ball‑park estimate for this contract is in the $15‑20 k range, with $16,500 as a midpoint figure.
