Whoa! $60,000 for 300 hours is $2,000/hour, a hefty rate indeed. (And even
if that was TWO contractors, each logging 300 hours, that's still a
$1,000/hour rate.)
For the greater Port Charlotte / Punta Gorda area, I'd venture $70 -
$100/hour would be a competitive range. Of course, complex short-term
engagements using a traveling consultant, will probably cost more, while
relatively simple long-term engagements using a local consultant, may cost
less. Not sure about Remedy consultant availability in SW Florida but would
venture it's difficult and you may need to plan on using a "non-native" and
paying travel (or building travel into the rate). For 6 months labor plus
travel (airfare, lodging, meals) I'd suggest budgeting around $125K (more
for complex work, less for simpler staff augmentation). The closest
concentrations of Remedy consultants are probably Georgia and North
Carolina.
Hope this helps! Please email if you need any additional information or
need assistance finding a suitable consultant.

p.s. How goes the post-hurricane reconstruction? I visit Fort Myers every
year and regularly make the drive north. Last time I was through Punta
Gorda, "downtown" still looked a little bare!

** Receiently we hired 2 people to help with putting 6.3 on our new server.
Our original Sys Admin left to get married, how could she, and left me to be
the new sys admin. Thus needing the help. They worked from the end of june
to the first week in September and they were paid 60,000 dollars. Just
under 300 hrs of work were contracted for.

I have seen some questions going back and forth about consulting and I want
to add one to the list. We are thinking of hiring a Remedy developer for
about 6 months to help us catch up on some projects. About how much should
we expect to pay per hour?
