Can someone help me out with the square foot cost for tuck pointing. I would like to compare our hourly rate with the square footage price.

There are too many variables to even get you close. Bid it as high as you can and cost it as you go.

how old is the building? maybe lime mortar. pointing up common brick? The material you are pointing up regular mortar is not good for common brick.
( mortar to hard brick to soft=failure ) good luck
