From the meeting
At its November 4, 2026 meeting, the Board of Commissioners was asked to approve an underground electrical easement with Black Hills Energy (BHE) on county-owned property along Kansas City Street near the Courthouse campus. The easement was part of an ongoing electrical transformer replacement project serving the Courthouse, Public Safety Building, Jail, and Energy Plant. The project was upgrading electrical service from 4,160 volts to 12,000 volts and replacing aging transformers and associated electrical infrastructure.
Transformer installation was anticipated in 2027.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
