make a reasonable estimate of cost. 

And the answer is, I don't make an estimate of cost, I quote my hourly rate
plus expenses, with a disclaimer that their spec is so vaguely worded that a
fixed quote is not possible. Of course my hourly rate is about 5-10 times
that of an Indian responding so if these companies are inclined to do that I
can't compete.

I actually got a phone call the other night from a company in India, quoting
me $12 / hour for all kinds of offshoring work.
