Default Another pricing thread (yawn)

I usually don't resort to this, but I need some help. Hotel with existing OLD floor receptacle in concrete. A new 8' table will be permanently installed, with the closest leg about 3' away from existing floor box. I plan on renting a concrete saw and demo drill, cutting existing floor box out, splicing onto existing pipe, cutting new trench to table leg, and 90ing up into it. I will repull wire (30' #12), and install 3 receptacles along each side of the table- probably cutting the receptacles into the sides of the table top. The saw and drill will cost about $275 per day. I haven't cut concrete like this before. I am mainly residential, but do not feel that this is beyond my capabilities. Your price? Thanks for input.
Thanks

I'd like to, but they don't want an ugly jbox in the middle of the floor (where it is). I called a concrete cutting company and told him what I needed and he said he could do it for 275. Sounds good to me! I told them 1500$ (275 for cutting concrete, 200 materials, and 1000ish labor) and they want me to look at several more things tomorrow. Thanks for the replies.
