Be aware of a need to provide EGRESS from your basement. You absolutely have to do this for any bedrooms downstairs. Glass Block windows don't qualify for this. Just wanted to mention it...
I don't have specific expertise in this area, other than to say get referalls for other customers who have had this installed by your perpsective contractors. You can also try www.improvenet.com for prequalified contractors in your area at no cost to you...
