MSA Cost Estimation Tool
DownloadAn Excel workbook intended for when an agency is ready to start creating cost estimates for purchasing tap to pay hardware and software. You can use this workbook to compare MSA-awarded vendors’ maximum prices and develop ballpark estimates for budgeting purposes (and board presentations), and make scoping decisions as you prepare to email vendors during the vendor engagement phase.
Note: The prices in this workbook are maximums. Transit agencies are strongly encouraged to reach out to vendors directly for tailored pricing. Prices may be reduced and/or fee categories waived, at vendors’ sole discretion.
