Board approves commissioning and testing contract for new jail's mechanical and electrical systems

Codington County Board of Commissioners · September 23, 2026

Summary

Commissioners approved hiring a commissioning agent to perform quality assurance and testing on the new jail's mechanical and electrical systems; the county selected the lower bid with recommended alternates for a total of $82,100, to be funded from project contingency.

The board approved a contract for commissioning agent services for mechanical and electrical systems in the county's new jail project.

Commissioner Gable reviewed two proposals: a higher Cooper bid (approximately $113,800 base) and a lower Stanley base bid (about $67,300). TEGO/Integra recommended awarding to Stanley with selected alternates for targeted testing on the generator and electrical systems, producing a recommended total of $82,100. "The $70,000 is budgeted in the jail project; the recommended total is slightly over but can be covered by the owner's contingency," a county representative said.

Commissioners voted to approve the chair's signature on the contract and to proceed with the commissioning work. The services will provide independent testing and performance verification for the jail's critical mechanical and electrical systems as construction proceeds.
