Proposals submitted by other parties will not be considered by the Economic Development Authority of the City of Crystal (EDA). 2. Have experience in construction of buildings with two or more units.

References from previous customers, suppliers, and inspectors may be requested by EDA staff. 3. Be capable of closing on the lot purchase within two m onths of the required City Council approval of either a variance for a two-family dwelling or a site plan for a 3-6 unit building, and completing the building within one year of the closing date of the lot sale (See Section C, below). C. Procedure for Consideration of Builder Proposals. 1. The EDA board has total discretion regarding whether to reject or accept a proposal. 2. Builder proposals must be submitted by Wednesday, August 12, 2020 at 4:30 PM. The following are to be submitted for the proposal:  A completed and signed proposal form  An approximate/example illustration of the type of building you would build on this lot. The Builder should select a building plan in accordance with Section D (5) of these Guidelines. 3. After August 12, EDA staff will review the proposals received and make a recommendation to the EDA board. 4. At its August 18, 2020 meeting, the EDA board will hold a public hearing on the proposed lot sale and consider a resolution to accept a specific proposal and authorize the lot sale to that Builder, contingent upon the following additional City Council approvals: a) Two-family dwelling. The minimum density in the city’s unified development code (UDC) for the property is 6 units per gross acre. If a two-family dwelling is constructed, the density would be 5.1 units per gross acre.
