How much do you pay for soil tests?

I was just quoted $1600 for Geotech services. They will drill 2 holes to 25 foot depth or rock to evaluate requirements for new foundation/home.  How does this compare to what you've seen?

I used to work in corporate/retail real estate and would order geotech reports for every new store being built. They'd usually bore four holes (where the four corners of the proposed store would be) to 25ft for $2500. That was 2004-2006. I'd say your price is fair.
