You did not say (or I did not see) where you are located, as rates vary highly by region. I am in Northern NJ and I just pulled out the paperwork from when I did my pool in 1997 and I paid $1,735 then, which was the best price I could find. I had some estimates as high as $4,000.
Now our scope may have been slightly higher than yours. We put in a 60amp sub-panel which was run about 120' underground to our main house pannel. We have 220 running to the pool pump. polaris booster pump and heatpump, plus 110v to an electric outlet, pool lighes and an outside spot light. The entire pool was bonded as well and there are timers for each of the pumps. Price included all work and materials.
Be forewarned that electrical codes and inspectors vary all over the map. The guy I used specialized in pool work, but did most of his work in a town other than mine. When he had to connect the two timers together rather than running a conduit out the bottom of one with a "U" shaped pipe and then into the other he decided to go straight down and put the "U" underground to make the piping look nicer. The inspector failed him as he said all conduit must go at least 18" underground. Did not matter that this did not need to be in the ground, he made him either raise it out of the ground or go deeper. Point is, when you get the pricing make sure you have wording in it that specifies it must meet code and the contractor (not you) is responsible for any extra cost that the inspector may insist on.
