Every year, there is some form of construction work going on at UF's campus. In January 2018, bids were opened for a new building on campus for UFPD. The bid/construction value of the building was set at $5 Million. Another building of similar structure and purpose is planned with a bid opening in January 2023. What is the expected bid for the new building? It is given that in January 2000, the Florida Construction Cost Index had a value of 5550, while in January 2018, that value was 8000. You can use these price indices to calculate an average inflation in construction costs.
