How about
-tear down 16 layers courses of chimney and rebuild
-pour new crown
-insert new top section of clay liners

And a lot would depend on how high up this is, how easy or hard is it
to get to, what is around it that there is risk of damage to, etc.

Like a chimney on the end of a shallow roof pich ranch, where they
could drive their trucks right up to that end of the house and not
have to go very high up, is a hole different kettle of chowder than a
chimney between the 2 and 3 story sections of a steep roofed colonial
where the snotty homeowner has all kinds of special planting and won't
let anyone drive on his lawn and is concerned with roof damage so the
scaffolding is fancy schmancy and etc. etc.

So WHAT ARE THE ESTIMATES FROM THE OTHER CONTRACTORS?
Tha will tell you if this one is high low or in the middle.
