I admit that there is some truth to Hans' supposition, so I don't guarantee that they will agree to whatever rate you may want to charge, but it's worth trying. State your required hourly rate up front, and if they agree to it, great. Otherwise, no skin off your nose. Let me know if anyone's interested. Sorry I haven't responded right away, but I'm at RailsConf right now. It's been fun.

Read: they laid off the entire IT department and now want to pay someone peanuts to do IT. Disclaimer: I know nothing about this other than what we all read in the post, but that's what it sounds like to me. If you lay off Carl Youngblood and then go fishing for contractors, you're not exactly firing on all four cylinders.
