Annual Operating Costs are the amount budgeted by the DCBC to operate and maintain the Bridge. This is set at $600,000/year, indexed for inflation, for the first five full years of the Sublease Term (and a prorated amount for the initial partial year after opening). After that, the amount will be set by agreement between the GNWT and the DCBC.

KablooeyNote - According to comments made by the Minister of Transport during the Assumption debate, now that the Bridge is a GNWT project the annual operating costs may shrink to the neighbourhood of $350,000. Supposedly this is because now that "things have changed in terms of requirements, such as insurance, we expect that is going to be around half of the $700,000. So O and M we are pegging at $350,000 a year."
