Is $3,900 to self-level 550 sqft of basement slab a fair price?

Project Details

I have around 550 sqft of basement slab (across 4 rooms and one hallway) that I'm looking to have flattened. For a "flat flat" finish, the deepest pour would be 3/8 inch, covering about 25% of the area. Both quotes estimated around 35 bags of material. I've already demo'ed everything, and the basement is clear. The quotes I've received seem a bit high.
