School board accepts lowest bids from Thompson Construction for two temporary high school campuses, funded by FEMA
Summary
The board accepted two lowest responsive bids from Thompson Construction to prepare sites for temporary campuses at South Terrebonne High School ($3,696,000) and Eleanor Moore High School ($4,027,500); funding is to be derived from FEMA reimbursement funds.
The Terrebonne Parish School Board voted Jan. 18 to accept the lowest bids meeting specifications from Thompson Construction Co. to provide site-preparation services for temporary high school campuses displaced after Hurricane Ida.
The board accepted a $3,696,000 bid for site preparation at South Terrebonne High School and a $4,027,500 bid for site preparation at Eleanor Moore High School. The superintendent presented both recommendations and identified FEMA reimbursement funds as the source of funding.
The motions to accept the bids were moved and seconded during the superintendent’s agenda; Dr. Maybelle Trahan expressed being “pleased that we’re finally getting something moving” and that the projects will help return students to local campuses. The bids were listed in the record as meeting all specifications and as the lowest responsive offers.
The contracts are contingent on FEMA reimbursement as the stated funding source; the board did not discuss alternate funding sources during the public portion recorded in the transcript. The actions approved authorization to accept the low bids and proceed with contractor contracting according to district procurement procedures.
