I need to get this done at a new location in WA. This was a quote from my first electrician. The outlets are installed within 10-15 feet from the breaker box. Electrician provides conduits, wiring, breakers and labor. I bought the outlets and outlet boxes myself

Job Description: $7,350.00 + sales tax = $8000

Provide labor and materials to install (10) dedicated 50 amp circuits to the upstairs space from the
panel to dedicated outlets. All work will be in 3/4 inch and 1/2 EMT surface mounted to the sheet
rock. Owner will provide the outlets.

has anyone done something similar at this price ? or should i continue shopping around ? $8000 seems a tad high considering parts would not even reach $500

Thanks!!

That is a RIPOFF for anywhere outside of Manhattan (NYC).

Get more quotes.

30 amp outlets make sense because most PDUs are designed to run from a 30 amp outlet.

Gotcha. I also agree that pricing is insane. 30amps only lets you run 3 s9s/equiv while 40 lets you run four. I've found a fair few pdus that can handle that load. TO be fair, I've not weighed out the cost of the different outlets etc, and it may make more sense to run more with less optimal setup than less outlets with better "efficiency" outlet wise.
