Woodie; Bvance is right, get a box blade and do it yourself. Most dozer guys around here now charge from the time they leave home with the dozer on the lowboy till they get the job done, reload the dozer and get back to their shop. That makes a small job like yours real pricey, you are paying him more for transport time than actual work done at the site. I have no quarel with their form of billing, have you priced a dozer, lowboy and a semi lately? You are correct in your plan to strip off the topsoil, move the clay around to the profile you want then replace the topsoil. Anytime you disturb the soil in a major way it will take a cou[ple years for it to settle and become as productive as you would like, but it will happen. Best of luck. Frank.
