The SPET-funded Rec Center expansion may move forward again with changes that could address some concerns that halted the process roughly a year ago.
The Teton County Board of County Commissioners, which approved a stay on the renovation in July, is set to consider three contracts for the project Tuesday morning.
If approved, they would hire a climbing gym consultant, a local construction manager at-risk, and an ownerâs representative â an outside group that ensures projects finish on time and within budget â for the project.
All three contractors could address issues raised in the past year.
Climbers fretted that the proposed gym could be inadequate if appropriate expertise wasnât included early in the design process. Local businesses questioned an earlier recommendation to hire out-of-town firms during the COVID-19 pandemic. And hiring an external ownerâs representative became an issue after a Teton County/Jackson Parks and Recreation project on Snow King Avenue at the fairgrounds came in over budget and past due.
