Contract value

$360,000

The RFP calls for 215‑400 students plus chaperones over a three‑day trip. Assuming an average of 300 participants and an all‑inclusive cost of roughly $1,200 per student (covering coach, hotel, meals, guide, security, insurance, and gratuities), the total contract value would be about $360,000. Adjustments for lower or higher headcounts, different hotel grades, or optional insurance could shift the amount by ±$50,000, but a mid‑range estimate of $350‑$400 K is reasonable.
