Had to bid a job with 350' of 12/2 UF (direct burial install).Got prices from 2 different companies both slit type install(no trenching) they supply the wire. One was 1.95 ft, the other was 2.10.The terrain is grass with a gradual slope down to a lake. Does this seem high? I know it's been quite some time since I paid for UG install but for some reason a buck a ft for trenching seems to be what I remember. Thanks.

Nice and neat no mess with that method
We are having 600' trenched tomorrow. Take about an hour to dig plus time to fill. About $600.
They will be done before I could drive to town & back for a rental.

does not sound all that high to me, i remember $1/f but also remember $.25, if a machine rents for $100 would I want to do it for $350 including UF? Maybe but i hope not.

You sure you only want to use 12/2 @ 350' ?
I'm picking up a usuable voltage of 91.3 and a total actual drop of 28.70...
