Contract value

$15,000,000

No explicit contract value appears in the documents. To estimate, consider GoTriangle’s fleet size (~500 buses and dozens of support vehicles) and a per‑mile rate typical for transit towing (roughly $2‑$4 per mile). Assuming an average of 5,000 towing miles per year across the region, annual towing costs would range between $10 M and $20 M. With a two‑year base term, the contract value could be roughly $20 M–$40 M. Accounting for potential lower mileage or negotiated rates, a conservative ballpark estimate is about $15 M for the initial two‑year period.
