We get that all the time. No one on the planet uses that plant's system but that one plant. We have to convert our State Plane cor coordinate map to some plant system.
And they use the plant coordinate system, only because "it has always been done that way" of course.
If they write the checks, we do it the way they want. We may slip in a small pain in the butt fee for the privilege.
