Looking to add a 22x30 slab for a new metal shop. Approx 660 sq/ft frame, pour, finish. What's a reasonable price.

Tree fiddy sounds about right

Is it going to have footings, rebar, wire mesh? Or is it just going to be 3-4 inches of concrete?

Concrete included in cost?

Make it about three fiddy inches thick, that should run about a hunny a inch.
Yeah, tree fiddy.
Yeah, tree fiddy.

You probably aren't that far off. I use similar unti rate to estimate the jobs at plant. I would think one could drop their labor costs down considerably with a drive thru HD parking lot.

Last year. I believe it was July. Or August. There's a knock on the door. I open it, and there's this rugged looking construction worker standing at my door. And he says to me, "how would you like me to frame and pour some concrete for you"
And I said "Well, how many square feet do you have?" He said "I've got 500 square feet, 600 square feet, 700 square feet".
I said "we'll take 660 square feet framed and poured. How much will that be?"
And that construction worker, he looks at me and she says, "...Uh I need about tree-fitty."
Well, it was about that time that I notice that the construction worker was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the protozoic era.
I said, "Dammit monster! Get off my lawn! I ain't giving you no tree-fitty!"
It said, "how about just two-fitty?" I said, "Oh, now it's only two-fitty!! What?! Is there a sale on Loch Ness munchies or something?!"
Damn right I was angry.

You put way too much effort into that.

*(660 x depth (ft))/27 = cubic yds
*Figure footings same as above (deeper)
*Add load bearing areas (heavy machinery/crane/et.al.) to concrete/rebar calculation
*Add reinforcement (rebar)
*cubic yds x $/yd = cost of concrete
*add finishing/sqft
NOTE: Always add 1/2 yd fudge factor for concrete quantity
10 yrs ago I paid $60/yd concrete for driveway

$5/sq. ft. and you shouldn't have to touch a thing

Maybe in rural Honduras $60/yd might be a good number today.

Reading comprehension challenged?
I keeeed. Your "today's" cost sounds good from what I hear.
The $60/yd 10-yr ago was in Baton Rouge. Don't know what it was at that time in rural Honduras though.
