Police Jury approves waterworks construction servitude and accepts bids for Old Spanish Trail upgrade, testing chemicals

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury on May 22 approved multiple water-related actions: a temporary construction servitude agreement for the East Calcasieu Parish Consolidated Waterworks project, acceptance of a low bid for Waterworks District No. 2 of Ward 4’s Old Spanish Trail water upgrade Phase 1, and acceptance of bids for water testing chemicals.

These actions collectively advance water infrastructure work for parish water districts. The servitude authorizes temporary construction access for the East Calcasieu Parish Consolidated Waterworks project; the Old Spanish Trail upgrade bid proceeds to construction after the jury accepted a low bid; and bids for chemicals support ongoing water testing operations.

Mister Landry, Police Juror, moved and Mister Guillory, Police Juror, seconded approval of the temporary construction servitude; the motion carried by general consent. For the Old Spanish Trail water upgrade Phase 1 (Waterworks District No. 2 of Ward 4), staff recommended and the Police Jury accepted a low bid from MPB Construction in the amount of $444,867; the motion to accept the bid was moved by Mister Burley, Police Juror, and seconded by Mister Barty, Police Juror. On water testing chemicals, staff recommended awards to Double Delta H2O and Hawkins and Hawkins; the Police Jury carried that item on a motion by Mister Barty, Police Juror, seconded by Mister Androponte, Police Juror.

Each item carried by consent during the meeting; no public comment or roll-call tallies were recorded in the transcript. Follow-up steps include contracting with the recommended vendors and executing the servitude paperwork; the meeting record did not include delivery schedules or completion dates.
