Solid concrete. Basically a 24 inch deep step that goes the length of

alot of other concrete showing up for other jobs, so it just a matter
of adding it to an order...

In that case, just make sure your forms are adequate and the existing
slab is clean and dampen it....laying down a piece of wire mesh would be
good but not mandatory. You finishing? Got a corner edging tool to put
a nice finish on the corners on hand?

OBTW, you might consider at least one or two expansion joints in a
relatively thin pour like that for that length...

If you wanted to get carried away, you'd dowel it (short lengths of rebar
epoxied into holes drilled in the slab) and replicate any expansion joints
in the slab in the new pour.

For such a trivial application, tho, I'd just have 'em pour the new
concrete on forms in place on the wet but otherwise bare concrete.
There'll be some motion and some cracking, but it's such a light duty use
that shouldn't really cause any problems.
