At that time they were nearly a year out to start work. This might be a good time to have it done by whomever you pick. We obviously chose the 20K contractor and all went well (other than time to complete the job - it took way too long but for the savings it was worth it). A neighbor behind us had a GC garage done a few months before our work and he SAID it cost him "under $10K" which is what I would really have preferred.
Hard to compare without specifications.....so suggest you make sure you write the specifications so everyone bids on the same thing. Logic would indicate a price spread of under 10K - 40K is not possible if the specs are the same.
