Contractor reports steady progress on Page County jail construction; weather slows some pours
Summary
A contractor project representative gave a site update on the county jail project, describing masonry progress, precast production, detention door keying plans, stormwater controls and a pending FAA licensing item; some concrete work and erosion control remain weather‑dependent.
Jeff Curtis Daniels, identified in the meeting as a project representative, told the Page County Board of Supervisors the jail construction site has increased activity and that masons began laying interior load‑bearing block walls for the dispatcher and other spaces. "As of yesterday, the Masons were on‑site starting to lay the interior weight bearing wall block there for the dispatcher," Daniels said.
Daniels said Northwest Steel Erection mobilized and began delivering wall‑bracing components, and that interior underground work is complete with masons currently conducting in‑wall rough‑in for vent and water supply lines. He described coordination on detention door keying and electronic locks: the team is developing a master keying plan "to what the sheriff's department is looking for" so county controls and master keys align when the building turns over.
The contractor said federal filings with the FAA remain in a final stage and staff are waiting for the permit format to be issued; the representative characterized the delay as an administrative formatting issue, not a substantive problem. Daniels also said most precast and roofing components are produced and the contractor will begin loading trailers within days of permit issuance, at which point crane mobilization will follow.
Because of recent heavy rain, the site team is implementing corrective work under the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP). "We have some of the straw bridal will have to be put back into position... We'll go back out there... we'll have that completed along with the necessary inspection filled out that we keep uploading to Procore," Daniels said, noting corrective actions are documented and submitted to regulators. He estimated masons sometimes work later hours (until about 6:00 p.m.) and coordination between trades will continue to maintain schedule.
Board members asked about erosion and washouts; the contractor answered that corrective measures are expected to be completed within the 48‑hour response window required under the SWPPP and will be documented in Procore for inspection.
