This company seems to be a certified and reputable company. I saw some great reviews online. They are also recommended by a local home builder radio show host (albeit some might think he's a bit of an advertising whore who may not be objective when it comes to recommendations). This particular plumber was also recommended. I'm pretty confident that if he says it can run under concrete that it's safe. He did say that the line he is running a yellow piping and not the usual galvanized steel or what have you. Apparently it has some give to it.
Depending on where you live that might not be a bad price. Depending on code, you cannot run concrete over the top of a gas line, and I believe this applies to slabs that are part of a living structure or that might channel leaking gas into a dwelling. I very vividly recall a natural gas explosion that killed a family of four as well as a neighbor boy who was having dinner with them, because a gas leak had followed the water line into the home. The lady of the house had been complaining of a gas odor but she was laughed at because theirs was a total electric home. The long and the short of this is, don't cheap your way with a gas leak.

What do you think about this price? Replacing a 40' or so run of pipe underground (having to cut up concrete to dig the trench line but only filling it back in with dirt and not fresh concrete or gravel after the pipe has been install). This should include pressure tests and inspection costs. $2700?
