The South Dakota Transportation Commission voted Sept. 10, 2026, to award a Perkins County street reconstruction contract to Hulstein Excavating LLC for $3,625,574.05.
Becky Hoffman of the Office of Project Development presented the bid letting results for project 09V7 P 6542(04), described as grading, PCC surfacing, curb & gutter and storm sewer work on multiple short segments in Lemmon, including 1st Street East and 2nd Street East. Commissioner Chris Frick moved to approve the bid; Commissioner Rick Vallery seconded. "All present voted aye by roll call vote," and the motion carried.
The contract covers localized street and storm-sewer work in Perkins County intended to repair and surface short segments identified in the bid packet. Hoffman reported the apparent low bidder and the dollar figure to the Commission; no member objected during the meeting and no public comments were offered.
The Commission took the formal vote during the meeting called to order by Chairman Austin Simons at 9:00 a.m. CT. With the approval recorded, department staff may proceed with contract finalization and next steps for project delivery.
The meeting adjourned at 9:06 a.m. CT.
