Contract value

$2,500,000

The solicitation does not disclose a contract value. A high‑pressure steam conversion on a university campus typically ranges from $1 M to $5 M depending on system size, number of manholes, and extent of pressure‑reducing station upgrades. Given the multiple building locations and the need for new high‑pressure infrastructure, a reasonable midpoint estimate is around $2.5 million. Factors influencing this estimate include the scope (several manholes and stations), material costs for high‑pressure piping, and labor intensity of utility work.
