Span Prices

Nearby Learned Lumber has the following prices for 5.125" x 9" glulams

Architectural Grade: $12.08 / ft
Industrial Grade: $11.71 / ft

The salesman hadn't heard of framing grade.

There's also a Parallam, which is made from wood chips much like oriented strand board. It's stronger than the same size glulam, but I didn't have a span table to determine the right size so the price below is for a larger than required beam.

Paralam: (5.25" x 9") $16.98 / ft

These prices don't seem outrageous. Lead time is 3 days. They will deliver, but pick up is probably far cheaper.
