ELS tenant work begins; Flintco sets Aug. 1 start for Water Street parking garage
Summary
EDC staff said permits for the ELS tenant finish were issued and plumbing work was due to begin; Flintco held a preconstruction meeting and the Water Street parking garage has an August 1 mobilization date.
Staff updated the Dickinson Economic Development Corporation on two construction projects: tenant work at an ELS site and preconstruction progress on the Water Street parking garage.
ELS site: Staff said final permits for the permanent work were issued and that ELS planned to "begin work on the site" immediately, with plumbing crews scheduled to put utilities "in the ground tomorrow morning." Staff cautioned that steel delivery lead times could slow some finishes, but the contractor had ordered materials and mobilized subs.
Water Street Parking Garage (Flintco): Staff reported Flintco held a preconstruction meeting with city and grant administrators and has an August 1 target start date for construction. Staff said the team will begin material review and pre‑ordering to limit exposure to price increases; a laydown area is identified and the grant administrator and Flintco will coordinate plan and package reviews.
Why it matters: Both projects involve city property or incentives and will affect downtown access and construction activity. The Water Street garage is grant‑funded and contract management will require coordination with city procurement and grant administrators.
Board direction: No formal votes were taken. Staff said they would return with updates on procurement, material lead times and any schedule changes.
Ending: Staff will monitor steel procurement schedules and provide construction updates to the board as milestones are reached.
