Use a tool like this to convert lat/long to Northing/Easting:

https://www.latlong.net/lat-long-utm.html

Cut and paste the Northing number into "picture 4" in your post under "north/south" and the Easting number into Eaat/West.  Also fill in the elevation if you know it for your site.

 

Angle from project north to true north can be zero, and you can establish this again later if you need to.

There is a Dynamo package called GIS2BIM which does that... Uses Google API and converts Longitude/Latitude or Address to Northing/Easting coordinates in Revit
