I'm at work now, but I will post a second follow-up later, with some exact prices which I've recently paid for some of the same jobs. My gut is telling me that many of those prices seem very inflated.
I believe the serpentine belt & pulley replacement was originally a 100K mile service interval part; however, due to the belts not lasting that long, it became a 60K mile service interval job. In terms of miles, you're probably okay with your original, but age also plays a factor (the belt is a rubber part after all).
In general, I ignore all advice to replace brake pads until I hear the pads squeal. Just check my own post today (Nov19), regarding a similar question about my rear brakes.
I'll post more later,
