I guess most people here are contactable but you are not going to get an
accurate quote with such a sketchy description. Not only that but you
don't seem to have a handle on database normalisation. Why are you
talking about saving the same information in different locations? That's
not necessary at all. I would concentrate on describing the /operation/
of the system rather than suggesting how it will be achieved.

It doesn't seem like a particularly complicated job, though your
requirements are specific. Other factors that could have an effect are
the existing code. I have a client who uses Front Page. I charge extra
for working with FPs tag soup.

There are other factors. Good, quick, cheap. Pick any two.

40 hours /should/ cover it. But don't hold me to that. :-)
