Request for Proposal 

DEADLINE: Information is due Jan. 15.

The next Camp will be June 2-6 and 9-13, 2025.

The Herdina Construction Trades Camp introduces students to a variety of specialty occupations within the construction industry. Students work with industry and educational professionals, learning about occupations, tools, safety requirements and skills required for satisfying and well-paying careers. Students are exposed to classroom and hands-on learning and will experience first-hand how residential and commercial buildings are constructed at M State through local service projects. 

Project Guidelines: (please note, projects do not need to be exact to these requirements)

• Purpose: To contact for a project that meets the complexity, size, safety and location requirements for facilitate hands-on learning Herdina Camp attendees (ages 15-20).
• Complexity: Ideally the project would be a storage building of some sort (ex. One-or two-stall garage, large shed or comparable building). Concrete should be complete prior to the students beginning work. Installation of framing, roofing, siding, soffit/fascia, windows, doors and overhead doors are tasks that the camp is looking for. Other items could be done depending on complexity and time.
• Size: Up to the approximate size of a two-stall garage.
• Permit:  Homeowner/company is responsible for obtaining proper building permit(s) before construction begins.
• Materials: Must be provided by owner 
• Safety: Height of the side wall no taller than 10’ and roof pitch not to exceed 8-12.
• Location: Within a 15-minute drive of M State in Moorhead, MN

Due to conditions outside of the camp’s control (time and weather), we cannot guarantee that the project will be completed. Any additional work needed to finish the project would be up to the owner to complete.

Thank you for considering partnering with the Herdina Camp. We look forward to your response.
