Is $1,800 to install a water powered backup sump pump with an additional discharge pipe a fair price?

Project Details

I had a guy come out and give me a quote on installing a water powered sump pump back up along with an additional discharge pipe. This discharge would just to get water outside in an emergency situation. I'm asking if this sounds reasonable or high. I'm middle of the road in the handy category and feel pretty comfortable doing everything but the plumbing. I'm going to call around for other quotes.

Quote Details

Installation of a water powered backup sump pump system. - Includes an additional discharge pipe for emergency water removal. - The system operates using water pressure. - It has a 2:1 ratio, meaning it uses 2 gallons of water to pump out 1 gallon of water. - An RPZ (Reduced Pressure Zone) device is included in the quote.
