Why would you need all the deeds for a topo?
Okay. We have a scope of services issue. I would call the projects a topo and boundary survey if there is deed work involved. In this case I would think that the 2,200 bid is about what it would cost if there were no issues with the boundary determination.
I left out the boundary part in the original post.
If you add in a boundary, unless the lot is in a platted subdivision with all the corners in and undisturbed, the cost could easily exceed $2200.
ITS A MORNINGS FIELDWORK TRAVEL AND EVERYTHING, OFFICE IF DC WAS USED AGAIN ANOTHER 4 HRS-
I COULD PUMP THIS OUT AND MAKE MONEY ALL DAY FOR 800-1000 DOLLARS--
$2200 I'D BE LOVIN IT
PS- I JUST DID ONE ABOUT AN ACRE- 250 MILES OF DRIVING--CHARGED THEM $500, HAD A NICE LUNCH TOO-- TOOK ME 2 HRS IN THE FIELD AND THE SAME IN THE OFFICE--SO WIFE AND I KNOCKED IT OUT AND MADE $500--TDD

One afternoon, a wealthy surveyor was riding in the back of his limousine when he saw two men eating grass by the roadside. He ordered his driver to stop and he got out to investigate.
“Why are you eating grass?” he asked one man.
“We don’t have any money for food,” the poor man replied.
“Oh, well, you can come with me to my house,” instructed the surveyor.
“But, sir, I have a wife and two kids with me!”
“Bring them along!” said the surveyor. He turned to the other man and said, “You come with us, too.”
“But, Sir, I have a wife and six kids!” he answered.
“Bring them as well!” answered the surveyor, as he headed for his limo.
They all climbed into the car, which was no easy task, even for a car as large as the limousine.Once underway, one of the poor fellows says, “Sir, you are too kind. Thank you for taking all of us with you.”
The surveyor replied, “Glad to do it. You’ll love my place. The grass is almost a foot tall!”

You are mistaking TDD for a real person.
It's a common error.
There is no need to respond to his fantastic posts.
> One afternoon, a wealthy surveyor....
Ha, ha, ha, good joke. A wealthy surveyor!
Target
I made a small fortune in Surveying, I started out with a Large Fortune HA HA HA (old aviation joke).
6TH YOU GOTTA DO
WHAT YOU GOTTA DO !!!!
HEY IT PAYS THE RENT, TO ASK FOR MORE YOU MAY HAVE GOTTEN NOTHING...
TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN--BESIDES THE ILC HAS NEAR ZERO LIABILITY WHERE IN A RUSHED OUT ALTA COULD GET YOU NAILED--ITS ABOUT RISK AND EXPOSURE IN THIS TIGHT MARKET--TOUCH NOTHING THAT COULD COST YOU MONEY, IF YOU DO MAKE IT FINANCIALLY WORTHWHILE.
WORDS OF WISDOM,
