What are you charging on an hourly basis for outdoor Fiber installation? Southern California

I have a job coming up where we'll be pulling roughly 10,000' of SM fiber to 24 inground vaults (6" conduit - empty, spaced roughly 500' apart) to serve 70 homes (an additional ~20,000' of fiber from the inground vaults to the homes).

Each of the vaults serves 4-5 homes each and has existing (empty) 2" conduit run to the nearby homes (roughly 300'-500' on average). We'll be pulling the cable, fusion splicing 70 connectors in the fiber distribution hub, labeling, testing, etc.

All of the runs will be through existing underground conduit.

I'm in Southern California.

So if one man was doing all of this work I estimate it would take 160-180 hours. What would you charge your client on an hourly basis for this type of work? We're fully insured, have all the tools, etc.

We aren't going to breakdown the hourly cost to our client, we're going to submit a bid for the entire project which includes all of the materials, labor, etc.

I'm thinking we should be right around $150/hr for this type of work, just trying to get an updated idea of what others are charging on an hourly basis for this type of work in my area.
