Place/person to weld in floor pan patch?

I'm looking for a shop, or individual, that can weld a patch in the floor pan of my dodge ram. The overall affected area is about 6"x24" at most. Right now there is a 1.5" round hole then about 12" back there is a 8"x4" oval hole. I will be making an oversized patch panel of 16Ga A366/1008 steel.

Here is a picture of the rust/rot. The cause was water leaking on the inside of the cab(now fixed) and the interior metal is the worst part, the bottom is really only affected where the holes rotted through. Also, the black coating is Rust-o-leum "rust reformer", not rubberized undercoating.



I may also choose to have the passenger side rocker replaced at the same time. if possible. That side was damaged by a concrete post and not rusted. I'd get a pre-fabbed patch panel for that side.
