Problem Description and Given Info Rosie's Road Co. is a new local construction company. They are interested in bidding on new highway construction projects around the city. They've hired you to develop some software tools that they will use to help determine material needs and costs. Road development is not only the asphalt you see - water and power conduits must be installed at the same time, and we have to account for things like labor costs and how long it will take to develop a particular project. The city is very regular grid, with one 4-way intersection at each mile of road. When asking for a quote, the city sends out the number of linear miles of road, and how many total lanes (1 to 8). Other Details 1. The trucks hauling asphalt have a maximum capacity of 5 US tons (10,000 lbs) 2. The standard road lane is 12 feet wide. 3. Asphalt weighs 145 lbs per cubic foot 4. Asphalt costs $150 per ton 5. Power and water utilities are run under the road as part of all road projects 6. Power conduit is available only in 20 ft. lengths - each length costs $400 7. Water main pipe is available only in 10 ft. lengths - each length costs $200 8. There is one intersection for every mile of road 9. Stoplights cost $25,000 per light (look it up, that's real!) 10. Each intersection has two stoplights, plus one additional stoplight for each lane 11. Work days are 8-hour days 12. All workers are paid $20 per hour. 13. Crew members can complete an amount of work in a specified time according to the equation and table below: crew members (50 miles_of_road number_of_lanes) / days_to_complete Crew Members Miles Lanes Days to Complete 1 1 1 50 1 1 2 100 1 2 1 100 1 2 2 200 2 1 1 25 2 1 2 50 2 2 1 50 2 2 2 100 Problem Description and Given Info Rosie's Road Co. is a new local construction company.
