Dan,
Enclosed please find an RFP for the City owned lot at 4553 Yates Ave N.
We are proposing to construct a two story home per the enclosed design. The home
would feature a two car attached garage, three bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open
living space arrangement, and will be an attractive addition to the neighborhood. We
have reviewed the criteria set forth by the Crystal EDA in the Request for Proposal for the
site and have determined that the proposed structure will meet the desired criteria.
Day Construction has been in the residential construction business since 2011, and it’s
members have been involved in the residential construction industry for approximately ten
years. Our past projects have included numerous kitchens, bathrooms, basements,
additions, as well as rehabbing and selling multiple distressed properties. We have thus
far mainly focused on projects involving existing homes, but are beginning to move into
the new construction industry. We have constructed one new home, as indicated in the
completed RFP, at 2501 James Ave N in Minneapolis. While our background doesn’t
precisely meet the requirements set forth by the City, we hope that the City can look
favorably upon our experience as a residential contractor and approve our proposal to
construct a home at 4553 Yates Ave N.
Sincerely,
Matthew Day
