If it is that shallow, I would rent a small back hoe and do it myself. You can get everything you need from the local home improvement store and the hardest part, I would think, would be the digging.
FYI, he can pull a permit and do the work himself for his own property if he is so inclined.

Re: need plumbing help/advice....
TAM, I am not a plumber but I can recommend Home Town Plumbing out of Irving. They have repaired a similar problem for me a few years ago. I think we paid about $3500.00 but they were the least expensive quote we received. However, our line was close to 10' down so they had to dig a deep trench to get to it.
Also, I am not sure about NRH but in Irving, they had to pull a permit and get a couple of inspections before they closed the trench. There apparently different rules now than there were in 69 when my house was built. They had to put in what I think was stabilized sand to lay the pipe on and then have it inspected then put in the pipe and another inspection then they covered it. So at least for mine, it wasn't such a simple job.
If you would like to contact Home Town they are at.
