Contract value

$600,000

The award letter provides no financial figures, but typical charter‑bus contracts for a midsize university cover a range of services—daily campus shuttles, event transportation, and occasional long‑distance trips. Assuming an average of 10 buses, each performing ~150 trips per year at an estimated $450 per trip, the total annual cost would be roughly 10 × 150 × $450 = $675,000. Adjusting for potential economies of scale and multi‑vendor sharing, a realistic ballpark estimate is around $600,000 for the 2026‑27 year. This estimate accounts for fuel, driver wages, maintenance, insurance, and administrative overhead.
