Is $11,000 to install two sump pumps with perimeter trenching and electrical work a fair price?

Project Details

I'm looking for second opinions on this quote. I spoke with a foundation guy about potentially putting two sump pumps in the crawl space of my home to deal with some minor ground water intrusion. Nothing super urgent, so I am not intent on moving crazy quickly on this. I'm wondering if anyone with experience here can tell me if that quote sounds reasonable or not.

Quote Details

This quote is for the installation of two sump pumps in the crawl space, including trenching and electrical work. - Two sump pumps (one with battery backup) - Approximately 177 linear feet of trenching around the perimeter of the house - Power drop to run a 20 amp outlet into the crawl space - Dedicated fuse for the new outlet
