Fees to convert from yards to meters and back

We have a 25 meter by 25 yard pool and we are asking the pool management to switch the normal yard direction to meters for a meter meet. They want to charge us $1,400 to cover the costs of moving 4 starting blocks, (we only need four because we are doing a relay meet) all the lane lines and flags. Yikes! We said we would move the lines and flags. We think $300 would be high but we would pay it. They said they don't want us to move the lines for insurance purposes.. (silly) Does anyone have experience with this so we can come to a better number? What would your pool charge for this service? thanks Charlie
