My first contract was a fixed bid contract and was a useful learning
experience (ie - bad way to start).  The biggest problem with fix
bids are that the requirements associated with them generally are
not static, no matter how detailed they are made.  There are two
major problems. First, even though the requirements are understood
by both the client and the contractor, the interpretations will NOT
always coincide. Second, as the project progresses, seemingly minor
changes creep into the specs, e.g., unforseen requirements or
unforseen complications.  The effect of these problems seems to go
against the contractor.
One possible way to protect yourself in these contracts is to not
tie payments to deliveries, but to tie them instead to a regular
interval.  Other strategies include specifying cost per change
and controlling milestone approvals.
Good Luck!

After a few fights with customers (and their accounting department) about
travel time charges we have adopted a simple scheme that seems to work for
us and keeps them happy.  We charge for one way travel at our standard
consulting rate.  It just gets billed as consulting time.  Thus,
accounting is happy and the actual customer feels like they got a deal.
