You need to write a detailed project plan, specifying the deliverables and the hardware that will be used, before asking for a time quote. What you have listed above is what the business community calls "fuzzies" instead of goals.

For example, take 3 above, "3. Virtual Private Cloud."

A good start, but still nowhere near detailed enough, is:

Implement a virtual private cloud on a Brand X server model foo using Windows Y. The software that will be used is Vendor A's VPS Master Revision X.Y. Hardening against attack using Vendor B's EncryptoMax Version G.H to level K. Compatibility required with Windows 7, 8, 10, RT and Green Hat Linux. Implement no less than 200 TB of storage using Vendor T's NAS RAID product NASPick version U.V, with at least one level of redundancy. The following documentation will also be required: Hardware, software, troubleshooting guide, user guide.
