xxArbUtusxx is an unknown quantity at this point
Do you have anybody over there that blows in mulch? If the beds are not completely packed with plants then this can be a more cost effective way for that amount of mulch. Here it cost approx $47 a yd. for composted mulch blown in. Charging for myself, to monitor the depth and make sure they do a good job, and one other laborer to clean any mulch off of the plants. Their guys are generally good about clean up and always blow the area afterwards.

Blown in Manualy
$50yd.($3 markup) x 65 = $3250 $30yd delivered x 65 = $1950
$35/hr Labor x 12hrs = $420 $35/hr spreading x 65hrs = $2,275
+ tax = $3,985 + tax = $4,588

Good luck with the other stuff.
