I have purchased a US Tower TX-472(72')  crank up tower.  I am now 
looking at having someone do the installation.  Specifically,  dig the 
hole, fabricate the rebar, install the rebar and pour the 
concrete(approx. 4 - 5 cu. yards)  and lift the tower into place.  Has 
anyone had work like this done and what is the ballpark for such a job?  
There is nothing special about the istallation, or location, or 
accessability,  and also no guy wires needed. Basically just a slab and 
drop the tower on it.  I have already pulled all required permits.  I 
have already received one quote which seems a little high( 2.5 times 
cost of tower).  I don't mind paying and figured the install would run 
about the same cost as the tower or so, however, I don't like getting 
taken as this quote seemed high?  Looking for advice.

Thanks,
    Bill
