Randall Community Water District submitted a State Water Plan application for a Phase II expansion, seeking $31,907,000 in projected state funding to double treatment capacity at its Pickstown water treatment plant from 6 MGD to 12 MGD. This will mirror the ongoing 8 MGD expansion at the Platte plant (bringing that plant to 12 MGD) and provide redundancy and capacity to serve RCWD, Aurora-Brule and Davison rural systems, and the City of Mitchell under the Connecting Neighbors project. The project may also require intake and raw water pipeline improvements and redundancy. With water rates currently at $66.50/month for 7,000 gallons for a typical ¾" meter, the district is clearly planning a major capital build tied to regional growth. Engineering, design-build, treatment equipment, intake, and pipeline vendors should monitor this project as it progresses from planning into funding and procurement phases.
Pre-RFP
$31,907,000Jun 25, 2026On June 10, 2026, the Board approved a $7,500,000 REDI loan to Elevate Rapid City, secured by a first lien on collateral property and with authority to release liens as lots are sold. The Board also waived the typical restriction on take-out financing. This indicates a sizable, multi-lot development effort already financed, creating substantial ongoing demand for infrastructure, construction, engineering, and related professional services as the project moves from financing into build-out.
Contract Award
$7,500,000Jul 8, 2026The Board approved a $15,500,000 Clean Water SRF loan and a $2,000,000 Consolidated grant for Milbank’s Phase 1 wastewater treatment facility improvements, for a total Phase 1 cost of $17,500,000. This phase will replace aging influent pumping and pretreatment facilities with capacity, reliability, safety, and hydraulic upgrades, including a new influent pumping/pretreatment building and SCADA system replacement. Milbank will secure the loan with a project surcharge on existing $35.74/month sewer rates, and acknowledged that rates will rise to around $90.74/month for 5,000 gallons to support debt. While the primary financing decision is made, the city must now complete detailed design and deliver construction, controls, and automation. Vendors can pursue subcontracting and follow-on work, and can position for future phases of WWTF improvements that the city signaled will follow this initial phase.
Contract Award
$17,500,000Jun 25, 2026The Commission approved a $1.338 million contract to install centerline rumble stripes across numerous counties in the Pierre region. SIR LINES-A-LOT, LLC dba Dakota Traffic Services is the selected contractor for project 09UU PH 0030(48). This establishes the incumbent for large-scale pavement marking and safety striping, useful for firms that provide materials, equipment, or safety-related engineering support.
Contract Award
$1,338,172Jun 11, 2026The Commission approved a $2.29 million contract to install dynamic message boards across the Rapid City and Pierre regions in multiple counties. BX Civil & Construction, Inc. was selected from the June 3, 2026 bid letting, so the primary award is decided and implementation will follow. This creates follow-on potential for ITS integration, networking, maintenance, software, and future expansions around these message boards.
Contract Award
$2,289,000Jun 11, 2026The Board approved a $7,500,000 REDI loan request from Elevate Rapid City, secured by a first lien on the collateral property, and agreed to waive the usual take-out financing provision. Staff and legal counsel are authorized to release liens on lots as they are sold, under terms in the commitment letter. This indicates a funded economic development real estate project where Elevate Rapid City may need design, construction, professional services, and ongoing support tied to the collateral properties.
Contract Award
$7,500,000Jun 10, 2026The Board plans to approve a Reinvestment Payment Program grant for AMTEC Corporation worth up to $2,434,648, tied to a new or expanded facility with eligible project costs up to $113,563,176. The project must be substantially similar to AMTEC’s application and will generate significant capital spending, jobs, and taxable purchases in South Dakota. Vendors serving industrial facility design, construction, equipment, and technology should expect a large build or expansion that will require substantial materials, services, and systems over the project timeline.
Grant Funding
$113,563,176Jul 8, 2026On June 10, 2026, the Board approved a Reinvestment Payment Program grant to Smithfield Packaged Meats Corporation up to $29,975,400, tied to eligible project costs up to $1,293,100,000. The payment can equal up to 100% of State Sales/Use Tax on eligible purchases for a new or expanded facility. This implies a very large industrial facility investment, creating major demand for construction, processing equipment, utilities, automation, and related services as Smithfield executes the project under the program deadlines.
Grant Funding
$1,293,100,000Jul 8, 2026The Board intends to approve a South Dakota Jobs Program payment for Dakota Metal Recycling up to $214,465, tied to a new or expanded facility with eligible project costs up to $13,185,359. The incentive is based on job creation, wages, and benefits, and refunds up to 50% of State Sales/Use Tax on eligible costs. This signals a sizable recycling facility investment that will need construction, processing equipment, and possibly IT and safety systems, giving suppliers a near-term opportunity to support the expansion.
Grant Funding
$13,185,359Jul 8, 2026The Pierre region durable pavement markings project saw a $111,557 change order in May 2026. SDDOT is paying for extra markings at additional locations beyond the original scope, bringing the contract over $1.4 million. This indicates ongoing regionwide pavement marking and safety work, useful for suppliers of durable markings, traffic control, and related safety products or services anticipating future cycles or maintenance contracts.
