Don't waist your $$$on fibers! Concrete fails either from voids under it or frost heaving it. You won't have a frost problem where you are.Hard, undisturbed clay makes an excellent base. Scrape it smooth and don't throw in any loose stuff to fill where you got it too low. I would still use some type of "rigid" reinforcement,suspended above the bottom,because it's "cheap" insurance.I don't think you will need to wet it down much if it is hard undisturbed clay.Have it mixed "wet" and don't let the sun shine in on it.The slower the dry,the stronger the concrete! Most people with concrete floor problems either poured it over sand fill that wasn't compacted enough,or the rodents hollowed it out underneath or they live where the ground freezes hard and heaves up.
