Default 60,000 service plan

While bringing in my 1999.5 Audi A4 2.8 Quatro in for a oil change at my Audi Dealer, the service manager informed me of a 60,000 service plan that consisted of:
Changing the timing belt
Replace water pump
full tune up w/ change of spark plugs
Brake flush
replace air cleaner
and in general a full check of the all systems.

The price quoted for the service was $1,900. That seemed extremely high for this service by I was told that this is the most important and only major service plan for the car.

My question is - Is is necesary and worth it to pay that much for this service? What are your thoughts and experiences with this?

thanks.
