Unfortunatley, variations in price, in density between brands and mixes, and even within the same mix make this rather approximate, however the total target weight is approx. 15.223~ tons, and at a typical hardware-store price of 3 or 4 dollars per eighty pound bag, the price range becomes something like $1,278.75 - $1,705.00, and with a built in contingency for externalities like taxes, calculation errors (volumetric and otherwise), and any other various things that could go wrong (and something usually does) one easily rounds up to $2,000 to create a suitable safety-net for such things. I suppose $1,500 - $2,000 would be arguably a fairer and less severe way of stating the problem, I don't think it makes a very big difference to the overall nature of the problem, which is what I was attempting to address here.

I may have managed to procure some from someone, "in the biz" but it's sort of a tenuous lead at the moment.
