Default Cost of Concrete

Concrete costs vary due to availability of stone, sand,
competition, etc.
All concrete is going up with fuel surcharges, etc on almost a
daily basis.
Admixtures and fibers increase the cost.

All this said, only your local supplier could possibly price the
concrete to you. For a ball park figure, use $100 per cubic yard.
As a home owner, one-time purchaser you will NOT get competitive
pricing. A local concrete man may well buy concrete cheaper than
you can possibly get it. Most suppliers offer an additional 1
1/2% if paid by the xxx of the month. I can't imagine a
contractor sharing that with you.

Can anyone give me a ball park cost for a yard of concrete? Does
the price per
yard go down as the yardage goes up?
My project will take about 68 yards.

Thanks
