South Dakota Transportation Commission approves change to flagging and pilot‑car pricing
Summary
On Feb. 12, 2026, the commission approved Department-recommended revisions to Section 4.4 of the Special Provision for Price Schedule for Miscellaneous Items, updating flagging and pilot‑car costs used in bid schedules. The motion passed unanimously.
Chairman Austin Simons called the South Dakota Transportation Commission to order Feb. 12 in Pierre and the commission approved updates to the department’s temporary traffic‑control price schedule.
Division Director of Operations Craig Smith presented proposed changes to the Special Provision for Price Schedule for Miscellaneous Items, Section 4.4, saying the update would revise how flagging and pilot‑car costs are reflected in bidding. "Craig Smith presented for Commission consideration the proposed changes to the Special Provision for Price Schedule for Miscellaneous Items, Section 4.4 — Temporary Traffic Control," the record states.
Commissioner Don Roby moved to approve the Department-recommended changes; Commissioner Lynn Jensen seconded. "All present voted aye by roll call vote," the commission recorded; the motion carried. The action was recorded with Attachment #2 as supporting material.
The revision affects how contractors price flagging and pilot‑car services in project bid items across the state. No dollar amounts or dollar‑value impact estimates for the pricing change were provided in the discussion. There was no public comment on the change during the meeting.
The commission took no further action on this item beyond the approval; the meeting adjourned at 9:13 a.m. CT.
