More seriously, it dependson what exactly your role is and if there are signed off requirements.
Are you just writing code or are you supplying a completed package? What about handover and support? And do you need to provide the underlying software the product will run on?
As for requirements, without them being signed off how will you know when your job is done?
If its fixed price then my starting point would be number of forecast days effort x desired daily rate x 2 (as you will under estimate). If necessary then include effort for bottoming the requirements.
