After a thorough evaluation and interview process, the SSD Managing Board awarded and signed the contract with Kirby Nagelhout on Dec. 8. Kirby Nagelhout Construction Company (KNCC) was founded in Bend in 1986 and has grown to become one of Oregon’s largest contractors. KNCC joins KMB Architects, Pinnacle Architecture, Inc., and Nelson Capitol Construction Program Management, LLC, to round out the construction, design and project management team for the SSD’s integrated and expanded public safety building. The SSD board continues to work collaboratively with the SROA Design Committee to mitigate any questions or potential issues prior to the committee’s review of the plans, as well as ensuring all rules and regulations are being followed.
