The most common advice I've been given is to not undervalue your work. I'm in the process of going through my gallery of for-sale images here (DPC Prints) and raising the prices, sometimes to double or triple (or more) from the previous.
That said, if you are selling to an institution to fill a commercial space, I think you can give a significant "quantity discount" to them, especially if you're having the photos printed commercially.
A lot depends on the print size and the quantity, but I'd start at a minimum of three times the cost of the print, and then mark up the framing maybe 10-20% if you are going to take care of it for them.
Congratulations -- I hope you work out something you are both happy with!
