<br />".~ <br /> <br />;0' <br /> <br />KRAUS-ANDERSON BUILDING COMPANY <br /> <br />May 2, 1979 <br /> <br />Mr. William Wolkerstorfer <br />806 South 4th Street <br />Minneapolis, MN <br /> <br />Subj~ct: New Facility at Existing Kausel Foundry <br />Dear Bi 11 : <br /> <br />Since your notification that your proposal was accepted for the purchase of <br />the Kausel Foundry site located in New Brighton, we have had numerous <br />, discussions with our architect, our subcontractors and material suppliers, <br />and your people. Since that moment, we have proceeded with extreme urgency in <br />design and ordering the materials for your new addition on that existing site. <br />The urgency is a result of the time limit imposed upon you due to\condemnation <br />of your existing facility. ) <br /> <br />There is now a definite realization that if we are to attempt to have you in <br />operation and doing business in your new location in New Brighton by mid <br />September, we must construct this addition on a fast-track'method. This method <br />is not an unusual or new way of building a building. In simple terms, it <br />involves Dn-site construction operation being performed simultaneously with <br />,the design of the project. We have done this in numerous instances before for <br />other clients.' <br /> <br />In order for this system to work properly,it requires the local building <br />inspection department' to -'issue what is referred to as a foundation permit, <br />which allows-site operation~ excavation and all work involved from floor slab <br />on down to be started immediately upon approval of the foundation plans. While <br />this work 'is being carried on, the final drawings will be completed 'and submitted <br />to the Building'Inspection Department for their approval through the nonnal ' <br />channels. , Again, this 'is not an unusual or new way of building, as we have done <br />this in the City of Minneapolis, Golden Valley, Plymouth, Blaine and others., <br /> <br />With this in mind, we would like your help in requesting the City of New Brighton <br />to issue us a foundationpenni-t andapp~oval to allow us to start foundation work <br />on your building on May 9. This would then allow us to have the required <br />architectural and structural drawings submitted in sufficient time to obtain the <br />'final building pennit by May 22. This would amount to a two-week advantage of <br />construction time', whichdoesn't sound like much, except with the possible cement <br />shortage which willhit ,us very soon and the delivery 'problems we have, it \'/ill <br />help us tremendously in the final completion of ' your project. <br /> <br /> <br />CON T RAe TOR 5 <br /> <br />1211 SOUTH FIFTH STREET MINNEAPOLIS.
