Default Is this a reasonable fee for a concrete slab?

Anyway, I want a 4' by 10' concrete slab poured 8 inches thick for this
tank to be strapped down to. The tank looks like a little submarine.

I've posted an ad on Craiglist and got three replies so far: one is for
a turnkey job for $450, one is for $150 but I have to provide all
materials, and the third never said but left a phone number for me to call.


Sounds reasonable to me. I'd find out exactly what they have in mind
as far as setting up the pour, any digging, stone base, reinforcement
rebar or wire.

It is not a complex job at all, but it is heavy material and a lot of
labor. Personally, I'd want a lot more than $150 to do it.


Even more than that, for $150, I'd pay someone else to do it every time!
