Port awards Fouchon Beach contract to Onshore Materials LLC at $19.65 million
Summary
The Greater Lafourche Port Commission voted to accept the lowest responsive bid from Onshore Materials LLC for the Fouchon Beach nourishment and restoration project at $19,648,200.
The Greater Lafourche Port Commission voted to award the Fouchon Beach project to Onshore Materials LLC after receiving and opening bids earlier this spring. The construction contract was identified on the record as the lowest responsive bid at $19,648,200.
The commission’s construction and development committee presented the recommendation to approve the low bid and the full commission moved and seconded the motion during its regular meeting. A roll call was not requested for this item; the chair called the voice vote, and the motion carried.
The contract was described on the agenda as the base bid with unspecified alternates; the commission record lists the awarded amount as $19,648,200 and identifies Onshore Materials LLC as the lowest responsive bidder. The committee noted the bid opening occurred in March and recommended award to the low bidder.
The item was processed with a single motion and brief committee-level presentation; there was no public comment recorded in the transcript for the award. The commission’s construction and development committee will oversee contract administration and any subsequent change orders.
The record on the night also included related discussion of other coastal projects at the port and multiple ongoing repairs at nearby breakwaters and marsh creation work, which staff said are progressing on separate schedules.
