Default cost of fabricating plastic holding tanks

I bought a Ronco tank a few years to replace an old holding tank. I
picked the closest size/shape from their huge catalog, and then gave
them a sketch showing where I wanted all the various input, output, and
vent fittings. On price, on schedule, and a perfectly done product.
That's fairly rare these days!

They are the only way to go in my opinion

Anyone had a plastic holding tank fabricated lately? I was quoted $1,200
for a tank that might hold 15 gallons. It would be prism shaped, 30 inches
long, 20 inches on each side and 18 inches across the top. I figure there
might be 25 square feet of plastic at most. I was told the material alone
was $800. That's something like $30/square foot. Is that what 3/8" thick
poly sheets go for these days? I didn't think those plastic cutting boards
you buy at Wal Mart cost $30.
So is this the going rate these days?
