Commissioner Gable reports progress on jail construction; commissioning agent proposals sought

Codington County Board of Commissioners · September 2, 2026

Summary

Commissioner Gable said interior blockwork is progressing on the county jail, with remaining concrete pours in 'area A'; the county is seeking proposals for a commissioning agent with about $70,000 budgeted and is weighing concreting a northern shell space now to avoid future costs.

Commissioner Gable updated the board on the county jail project, saying contractors have erected many interior cinder-block walls and that concrete work remains in certain northern sections. "So a lot of the walls, a lot of the cinder block or, walls are being put up," Gable said, and noted remaining pours are needed in "area A," the northern part of the structure.

Gable said the project team—identified as Tegrid in the discussion—is gathering proposals for a commissioning agent and that the project includes about $70,000 budgeted for that quality-control role. He also raised a planning question about whether the northern shell space (planned with a gravel floor) should be concreted now to make future conversions or storage easier.
