Summary

City engineer Tim Mader recommended awarding supply contracts based on a cooperative bid tabulation the city obtains with the parish; the committee moved, seconded and the motion passed to award contracts according to the tabulation, effective Aug. 1 through Jan. 31.

City Engineer Tim Mader asked the committee to award purchase contracts for routine materials using a cooperative bid tabulation the city participates in with the parish police jury, and the committee approved the request.

Mader told the committee members they had received his engineer's report and a bid tabulation showing low bids for aggregate, concrete pipe, hot mix and other commonly purchased materials. He explained the city participates in a cooperative procurement so the parish police jury takes bids once and the city pulls the items it needs rather than conducting separate local solicitations.

"With that in mind, I would ask that you consider taking action to award the contracts according to the bid tabulation," Mader said. After an inquiry about the procurement method, a motion was made, seconded and the chairman called the question; the meeting record states those in favor said "Aye" and the motion passed.

Mader said the contracts would be in effect from Aug. 1 through Jan. 31 and invited members to contact him with questions. The item was presented as a standard procurement update and the committee approved the award as recommended; the transcript records no roll‑call tally or names of the mover and seconder.
