Standard concrete patio slab, would be 4 inches thick.
How much site preparation is necc.?
Is it on shifting soil & thus needs a type of footing or some post hole supports, to help prevent shifting, cracking & thus a shorter life for the concrete.

Personally I think you should get 5-6 bids. Talk to all biders & ask what they would do at their house; what will last the longest with the least amount of cost. I would also bet you know someone, that knows someone in construction, get their opinion of the bids & the project.

I did a 16 x 20 concrete slab, last year. Put 12, 3 ft. deep post holes filled with concrete, at time of pouring, to support it; as it is on shifting soil. We used "fiber concrete" due to it's added strength & didn't want to use reinforcement wire mesh. Be sure to have the installer, "strike" the slab into 4 sections, so that if it does crack, it should crack in the strikes.

"striking" is the lines made into the concrete, while it is wet.

Edit: To tell if the size is big enough, take 4 coat hangers or markers of some type; mark the cornors & put what you want on the slab, inside the marks. arrange how you will & see if YOU are happy.
Will cost much less to bigger NOW; rather than later.
If you have a good installer, this is a standard action.

Hope all this helps, please feel free to contact me direct if you feel I might help further.

How deep is the patio because to do a good estimate you need to know the volume of concrete that you are being qouted. its not a bad price but a little online research and you can find out what kinda of profit you are allowing him to make off you.
Im thinking standard..isnt it something like 4 feet...not quite sure I'll have to ask him
