Carpenters

Descripción del trabajo

Dear Sir or Madam: Your attention is respectfully requested to the following letter in support of Romsdahl Companies, Incs (Romsdahl or Employer) request for twenty-five (25) temporary Carpenters to supply its temporary peakload need. The requested workers will read and follow plans and measurements to construct, erect, install, or repair structures; build frameworks, including walls, roofs, joists, studding, rafters, and window and door frames; install metal siding, windows, ceiling tiles, and insulation; and instruct less skilled workers on job duties. Workers will be exposed to heights, temperature extremes, strenuous physical activity, and repetitive motions. Proper and accurate use of a tape measure is required. The requested workers are essential to supporting the Employers framing crews and ensuring that projects proceed efficiently during the active construction season. Employer Background Romsdahl Companies is a Minnesota corporation founded in 2012 and headquartered in St. James, Minnesota. The Employer specializes in agricultural, commercial, residential, and industrial construction projects throughout southern Minnesota and surrounding communities. The company has established itself as a leader in agricultural building solutions and provides comprehensive construction services ranging from site preparation and concrete work to framing and building completion. The Employer regularly constructs livestock confinement facilities, agricultural support structures, commercial buildings, truck facilities, shops, and residential improvements. The Employer maintains a permanent workforce throughout the year to perform ordinary operations but supplements that workforce during periods of increased demand associated with favorable weather conditions and heightened construction activity. Company information and corporate background materials are attached as Exhibit A. Weather and Peakload Construction Operations Although Romsdahl maintains year-round business operations, demand for its construction services is highly seasonal and results in recurring peakload periods. The Employers projects depend heavily upon favorable weather conditions. Concrete placement becomes significantly more difficult during winter due to freezing temperatures, increased curing requirements, insulated enclosures, heating measures, and other costly cold-weather precautions. These limitations directly affect subsequent framing activities because the necessary foundations and structural concrete must be sufficiently complete before the associated framing can proceed. Customers therefore routinely schedule major construction activities between spring and late fall to maximize productivity and minimize weather-related delays. Increased project volume during this period generates labor requirements beyond the capacity of the Employers permanent workforce. The sequence of construction causes carpentry demands to continue into December as projects advance from site preparation and concrete placement to framing and related building activities. These late-season carpentry requirements arise from the continuation of projects undertaken during the Employers established peakload season. Information regarding cold-weather concreting practices and seasonal weather conditions in Minnesota, where the Employers historical construction operations are based, is attached as Exhibit B. Temporary Peakload Need Romsdahl has a temporary peakload need for twenty-five (25) Carpenters. The Employers overall recurring peakload period extends from approximately April 1 through December 31 of each year. During this period, increased construction activity and heightened customer demand generate labor requirements beyond the capacity of the Employers permanent workforce. The requested period of need for this application is December 23, 2026 through December 31, 2026. Please see attached.
