Need input w/pricing on Authoring a big Corp. Training job

Located in Houston, TX, we will be shooting a big corp. training video series soon and we want to outsource the DVD authoring part at the end.

We'll be shooting everything on a Panasonic HPX300, Intra 50, 720 x 30pn or 24pn. Bringing into FCP 7 to edit and outputting final product as QT.mov's. In the end we will be delivering to the client a total of 250hrs. of training video (a 6 week training course for employees).

Based on a 1.5hrs. per DVD we'll have around 166 to 170 DVD's.

In addition to compression and authoring, we'll be furnishing finished artwork to be printed on each DVD. This will be a PS template and the only thing that will change is the titles for each DVD.

We'll deliver the files in groups as many as will fit onto 2tb drives to whoever authors these files.

So...based on these specs, authoring and printing directly on the DVD the artwork for 170 or so DVD's what would be a price we need to be looking for in a company quote?

We're trying to get a feel for what you all think a realistic budget would be for that kinda of job.

Thanks so much ahead of time.
