Summary
Jeff Curtis of the Samuels Group told supervisors that underground electrical work, masonry in booking areas and delivery of cell wall panels (scheduled Dec. 16) are on track; temporary heat is maintaining 50°F and a 9,900-pound generator arrival was expected imminently.
Jeff Curtis, speaking for the Samuels Group, briefed the Page County Board on construction progress at the county jail.
Curtis said underground wiring to the generator pad is complete and crews have poured housekeeping pads in the electrical room. He reported that masons are nearing completion in the booking and main-entry area and that cell metal wall panels and detention ceilings were scheduled for delivery on Dec. 16.
"Temporary heat is up and going. We're maintaining 50 degrees in the buildings," Curtis said, describing steps to protect work during cold weather. He added that a 9,900‑pound generator was due to arrive and that the team is coordinating fuel-tank and ATS installations.
Curtis identified Chris Falk as the new on-site superintendent and said Falk had been involved from the start. He also noted the county will need to sign a natural-gas contract to bring service from South 12th Street to the building, naming Lonnie Stevens as the county contact for that procurement.
Board members asked procedural questions about staffing and schedules; Curtis said the trade partners and subcontractors were cooperating and that he expected masonry to finish before Christmas, which would accelerate interior finishes.
The update closed with Curtis offering to send weekly progress updates in the future.
