The Pennington County Housing and Redevelopment Commission is taking steps to upgrade its aging properties, many of which are over 50 years old. On Wednesday, the commission approved a four-year contract for architectural and engineering (A&E) services, allowing for streamlined planning as modernization projects arise.
“This means we no longer need to hire a new architect for every project—we can just call the firm and get started,” said Executive Director Bryan Achbach.
In addition, the commission approved a change order exceeding $300,000 for one of its A&E contracts. The added cost comes after contractors inspecting high-rise buildings discovered the need for screens to ensure new exterior materials properly adhere.
