I see in the EPSG database that NAD_1983_HARN for Delaware with units of 
feet is EPSG code 2880:
# NAD83(HARN) / Delaware (ftUS)
<2880> +proj=tmerc +lat_0=38 +lon_0=-75.41666666666667 +k=0.999995 
+x_0=200000.0001016002 +y_0=0 +ellps=GRS80 +to_meter=0.3048006096012192 
+no_defs
Does  that exactly match ESRI's 102257?

And the EPSG code for for the CRS with meter units is  2776, as listed 
at the bottom of your website..

So if you create two locations, one based on each of the EPSG codes, you 
can then import your data (into the correct location), and reproject to 
the other location to get units in meters.
