Randall Community Water District submitted a State Water Plan application for a Phase II expansion, seeking $31,907,000 in projected state funding to double treatment capacity at its Pickstown water treatment plant from 6 MGD to 12 MGD. This will mirror the ongoing 8 MGD expansion at the Platte plant (bringing that plant to 12 MGD) and provide redundancy and capacity to serve RCWD, Aurora-Brule and Davison rural systems, and the City of Mitchell under the Connecting Neighbors project. The project may also require intake and raw water pipeline improvements and redundancy. With water rates currently at $66.50/month for 7,000 gallons for a typical ¾" meter, the district is clearly planning a major capital build tied to regional growth. Engineering, design-build, treatment equipment, intake, and pipeline vendors should monitor this project as it progresses from planning into funding and procurement phases.
On June 10, 2026, the Board approved a $7,500,000 REDI loan to Elevate Rapid City, secured by a first lien on collateral property and with authority to release liens as lots are sold. The Board also waived the typical restriction on take-out financing. This indicates a sizable, multi-lot development effort already financed, creating substantial ongoing demand for infrastructure, construction, engineering, and related professional services as the project moves from financing into build-out.
The Finance Officer presented and the Commission approved a 2025 audit engagement with Casey Peterson. The proposal includes $44,100 for core audit services, $4,900 per federal award program tested, and $17,200,500 for a passenger facility compliance audit. The main audit vendor is decided, but firms offering complementary financial systems, reporting tools, or grant management can still target adjacent needs and future cycles.
The Board approved a $15,500,000 Clean Water SRF loan and a $2,000,000 Consolidated grant for Milbank’s Phase 1 wastewater treatment facility improvements, for a total Phase 1 cost of $17,500,000. This phase will replace aging influent pumping and pretreatment facilities with capacity, reliability, safety, and hydraulic upgrades, including a new influent pumping/pretreatment building and SCADA system replacement. Milbank will secure the loan with a project surcharge on existing $35.74/month sewer rates, and acknowledged that rates will rise to around $90.74/month for 5,000 gallons to support debt. While the primary financing decision is made, the city must now complete detailed design and deliver construction, controls, and automation. Vendors can pursue subcontracting and follow-on work, and can position for future phases of WWTF improvements that the city signaled will follow this initial phase.
The Commission approved a $1.338 million contract to install centerline rumble stripes across numerous counties in the Pierre region. SIR LINES-A-LOT, LLC dba Dakota Traffic Services is the selected contractor for project 09UU PH 0030(48). This establishes the incumbent for large-scale pavement marking and safety striping, useful for firms that provide materials, equipment, or safety-related engineering support.
The Commission approved a $2.289 million contract for installing dynamic message boards in the Rapid City and Pierre regions across multiple counties. BX Civil & Construction, Inc. is the selected contractor under project 080J CR 000S(418). This confirms the incumbent for ITS-related sign work in these regions and signals future needs for integration, maintenance, and follow-on ITS upgrades.
The Board plans to approve a Reinvestment Payment Program grant for AMTEC Corporation worth up to $2,434,648, tied to a new or expanded facility with eligible project costs up to $113,563,176. The project must be substantially similar to AMTEC’s application and will generate significant capital spending, jobs, and taxable purchases in South Dakota. Vendors serving industrial facility design, construction, equipment, and technology should expect a large build or expansion that will require substantial materials, services, and systems over the project timeline.
The Board will vote on approving a loan amount up to $3,320,093 and collateral changes for DeGeest Corp, following Credit Committee recommendation. This is an adjustment to an existing REDI or related loan, not a new solicitation. Vendors gain insight that DeGeest has substantial, ongoing financed projects and is working closely with GOED, suggesting continuing capital needs, potential follow-on investments, and a stable funding base for larger contracts.
The Board intends to approve a South Dakota Jobs Program payment for Dakota Metal Recycling up to $214,465, tied to a new or expanded facility with eligible project costs up to $13,185,359. The incentive is based on job creation, wages, and benefits, and refunds up to 50% of State Sales/Use Tax on eligible costs. This signals a sizable recycling facility investment that will need construction, processing equipment, and possibly IT and safety systems, giving suppliers a near-term opportunity to support the expansion.
On June 10, 2026, the Board approved a Reinvestment Payment Program grant to Smithfield Packaged Meats Corporation up to $29,975,400, tied to eligible project costs up to $1,293,100,000. The payment can equal up to 100% of State Sales/Use Tax on eligible purchases for a new or expanded facility. This implies a very large industrial facility investment, creating major demand for construction, processing equipment, utilities, automation, and related services as Smithfield executes the project under the program deadlines.
