You are the owner of a General Contracting Company. One of your clients is from the State of New York. The client has properties in both Rochester, NY and in Greensboro, NC. The NY property has a cost of $210,000 while the NC property costs $185,000. The client estimates that Engineering/Design costs will be similar for both locations. The client wants to construct a 110,300 sf Parking Garage. Projected construction is to start in December 2022. The client is asking you to produce a ROM estimate for construction in either NY (Rochester), or NC (Greensboro) and then advise her on a better location to build this project based on the total estimated project cost (land + design+construction). As a resource for this project, assume you have RSMeans information contained in a 2020 book. For ROM "time adjustments", develop your answer using both RSMeans and ENR information resources and select the most conservative approach. Prepare a cover letter to your client summarizing your advice, attach to the cover letter a detailed description of all your calculations in an "Engineering Like Manner" (that is: document each calculation, including references)
