I had my estimator spend 2 minutes on this - take it for what it cost you lol...

Concrete: 200 sq ft at 4" thick is about 3 yards. So that's around $400 to $500 in concrete
Rebar: 200 sq ft of #4 rebar 12" OCEW installed $250-$300
Dump fees: Maybe $350-$400
Tractor +man: $140/hr for 2-3 hours call it $400
Gen. labor: Two men two days, call it $500
Finishers: Two men, 4 hours, call it $600

So a contractor's costs would total around $2,500 - $3,000. For a job like this, if it was me, I'd expect to have to pay around a 30% markup for profit, overhead and the risks of unanticipated problems arising. So now we're talking $3,250 - $3,900. But $5,600 - that's nearly a 100% markup. I hope you can find a contractor who wants the job a little bit more than the first guy.
My $.02.

I'm in the wrong field...
