I'm impressed you can 80' wooden pole in for $5500. Here it was closer to $10,000. Just the pole itself was a few $k. Transport from the yard to a worksite was $2500. It's over the length limit for NYS roads, so we have to have escort vehicles and file a plan with the DOT. Some pole contractors didn't even want to do it.
