Good luck man. A few points though. If they are looking at top notch agencies bidding on this job - do NOT quote the same price. You won't get the job. You are not an agency and your overhead is not nearly what an agencies is. Trust me - I've been there.
MY advice is - figure what a fair price for the job would be, go in and show them your best work and let them know that your responsible, serious and a nice person.
And be careful. I stoped working for law firms years ago - I refuse to do it anymore, but that's another story ;-)

Have a BETTER lawfirm check your contracts...
LOL!

Make sure you get ALL the details of their requirements. They may need content editing, an admin section, hosting, logo re-design (and perhaps a logo identity kit to go with it).
I've worked on 500K+ sites before and as hard as it may seem to imagine - money often isn't wasted.
ps. Have a tight contract that includes the exact requirements.

DO NOT USE proposalkit.com. That shit is terrible.
www.aiga.org has some useful insight. They even have a pretty lengthy design contract available to d/l.

well....mutha effer, the train passed me by....the lady from the firm called me last night while I was out and left a message about the job. I called her back this morning and of course one of the company's partners decided late last night to go ahead with one of their bids on the spot. Hired late last night.
That is my bad news...
in a turn of events, i picked up a huge print job for a winery on the west coast and...I will still get my chance to do a big webdesign project, but not for extra dough...the company I work for decided to redesign the entire site and I volunteered to do it and project manage it. Huge site, 9000+ pages, 1/2 billion dollar company...
maybe this is the practice of pitching and proposals I needed...
would have loved a huge chunk of change though....
OH WELL, all of your comments are very much appreciated...will use all the suggestions.

9000+ pages? Sounds like you're going to get stuck printing for the rest of you life!
9000+ pages, now that's a lot of wine dude, don't worry, you don't need to be modest if you didn't get it, sorry dude, you'll find more contracts you can dream of :)
9000+ pages? Ok, now tell us a western story :)

the wine job is rebranding of packaging, boxes, labels, bags, etc...
the 9000+ pages is a redesign of www.micromuse.com... this site is a mess, nav sucks, visual sucks, bad colors, blah blah blah
