We were involved with a job like this and the big problem was that no mechanical excavation was allowed withing 2' of the utility markings. This had to be done by hand. After doing the first hole that way we sub contracted the hole digging to a company with a Vacuum excavator truck. Saved a ton of work as well as money on labour. I would say Paul is right in the ballpark with his estimates.
