I think it’s around $5-$6 a foot is the metric for retail runs. So that’s $6 x 200 = $1200 total.
Maybe a bit extra depending on the vaults and splice cases used in your case since it’s a shorter run.

Just at T&M I feel like I'm way too low, which probably means I should change how I'm billing it. :) So how do you arrive at $1500?

This is on private property and the existing cable was broken (bent into a hairpin by outside trauma) just outside the conduit. There's not enough sticking out of the pipe to put a splice there, so I have to run a new piece through the conduit. I guess the scope of work isn't that important though. I'm more interested in how you bill it. I know some people use an hourly rate for installing the cable and then a flat fee per splice. Is there a justification for charging per splice as opposed to charging for T&M? Is it to recoup the cost of the splicer perhaps?
