During the summer of 2000, Junior Achievement of the Upper Midwest identified a facility
in Maplewood they thought would be appropriate for their "Exchange City"
program. Keewaydin assisted Junior Achievement by performing due diligence
on the Maplewood property.
In order to perform the due diligence
on this property, Keewaydin negotiated a favorable contract with Michaud
Cooley Erickson to provide Junior Achievement with complete mechanical, electrical
and structural inspection services.
The site appeared to
have a drainage problem, and the parking lot looked in disrepair. So, Keewaydin
contacted Northwest Bituminous to determine the condition of the parking
lot and ascertain what repairs would likely be necessary.
Upon their completion, Keewaydin summarized the mechanical, electrical and structural
reports. Included in this summary, Keewaydin provided Junior Achievement
a list of building items that needed to be completed and a cost estimate
to do so. Keewaydin also obtained bids to provide the maintenance needs
identified in Northwest Bituminous' report.
Keewaydin's assistance allowed Junior Achievement to comfortably proceed with the purchase of the property
for "Exchange City." |
