I would like to bounce my plan for adding electrical service to existing detached garage before I get quotes-

Sub panel fed from 85amp breaker in main 200amp load center.
Roughly 75' of 1" PVC conduit from existing load panel, under existing deck, underground for ~6', stub up outside building, wall penetration to interior main lug load center with 6 branch circuits (1 240V outlet, 4 120V outlets/lighting)

1" PVC Sch 40 Conduit fill-
3x #4 THHN (Hot, Hot Neutral)
1x #8 THHN (Ground, bonded to main structure load panel ground and ground rod at outbuilding)

Neutral and ground to be kept separate.

Thanks for any comments!

Sounds like you have enough for a bid-- except that I doubt you have a 85 amp breaker. It appears you used the table and got the 85 amps from the table.
