Take it over to the CF-Jobs list.
The cost for any sort of outsourced item would depend upon who you
outsource to, there experience, their relationship with the person paying
the bills, etc...
If the client perceives you as an expert and trusts your ability, then
when you say "It'll take 3 weeks and $20,000" he will probably accept it
(whether or not he'll approve it is another story).
If the client does not, then he may just laugh you out the door.
My experience is that pricing goes all over the place, from giving it
away to completely outrageous. It's best to decide your cost for yourself
in the way that you (your company) values your (your companies) time and
see what happens.
Ignorance is bliss. The first time I did a consulting project, I said "X
amount" and they didn't even blink. I thought "My company charges this
much for my time, why should I charge less?" Of course, I didn't have any
of the over-head that my company at the time did... which is why people
working out of home can charge less.
