The price you quote will have to suit your circumstances, there is no fixed price. If you intend removing the concrete with an sds drill set to chisel, you need to set a price to cover the ten weeks it would take you. If however you intend to roll in with a mini equipped with a hammer and have the job done in four hours, that would be another price. How will you do the job, what will doing the job cost you, what will your overhead be for the time and labour involved, what will the disposal of spoils cost and what will haulage cost you. if you work that out, add in a decent profit margin for your time and effort, you will arrive at a price. Or else you could pluck a price out of thin air, submit it and pray. and if its rotten with rebar, it may not go quietly, so allow for that also. J

I've found that bidding high and praying works out in the long run better than bidding low and praying.

Well, if your up for doing it for free, ill give you the removal, with an option to form and pour the new slab. The option is if I want you to do the easy work or not.
