Summary
At its July meeting the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury adopted multiple resolutions and accepted several bid recommendations covering road extensions, waterline upgrades, drainage projects, grant submittals and contract awards, moving a number of routine infrastructure projects into procurement or closeout.
The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury approved a series of infrastructure and procurement items at its July 2025 meeting, advancing road, drainage and utility projects, accepting several bids and approving grant-related submittals.
Key approvals recorded in the meeting excerpt include: adoption of an act of sale and temporary construction servitude agreement for the Hamreid Road extension project phase 2; a permanent public records facility servitude agreement tied to the East Calcasieu Parish Consolidated Waterworks Project; a cooperative endeavor agreement with Copart of Louisiana for improvements to Perris right-of-way south of U.S. 90 at Farbacher Road; and a permanent utility servitude agreement for the Old Spanish Trail Waterline Upgrade Project. The jury also moved to submit a grant application for the Hubs for Energy Resilient Operations program to develop an integrated community energy plan.
Procurement and contract items advanced as well: jurors approved advertising for bids or requests for qualifications for several projects including the Mallard Junction ground storage replacement, thoroughfare roads and drainage rehabilitation, and West Calcasieu Parish roads and drainage rehabilitation. Staff recommended and the jury accepted bids for sign bases and sheeting materials (Osborne Associates, Sign Solutions USA and Vulcan Signs) and accepted a bid for ready-mix concrete from Dunham Price. The jury adopted resolutions accepting Ginger Lane drainage improvements, pavement preservation on various parish roads and striping of various roads as substantially complete.
Other routine business included approval of minutes, liquor- and special-event permits, a lease for 969 Terry Lane to remain open-space property, and a grant agreement approval for Workforce Innovations and Opportunity Act (WIOA) Title I funding allocation. Most items carried on unanimous voice votes as recorded in the meeting excerpt; where staff made recommendations, the jury accepted those recommendations.
The actions move projects into procurement or closeout stages; specific contract amounts, bidder pricing and detailed timelines were not recorded in the provided transcript excerpt, and individual bid documents will determine award amounts and schedules.
