Summary
At its April 10 meeting the board awarded multiple construction and lighting bids, approved one classroom addition contract, three football-field lighting upgrades, and elected a representative to the Industrial Tax Exemption Program advisory committee.
The Beauregard Parish School Board recorded several formal approvals at its April 10 meeting, including construction and lighting bid awards and the board's representative for the Industrial Tax Exemption Program (ITEP) advisory role.
Key votes and outcomes
- South Beauregard Elementary School classroom addition (Agenda Item 5): The board awarded the base-bid contract to K and J Development for $1,720,000. Motion to award was made by Ray and seconded by Jarrett; the board approved the award. Board staff noted dirt work was complete and construction could begin quickly.
- Gerritter/Ritter High School football field lights upgrade (Agenda Item 8): The board awarded the project to KC Electric; the base bid shown in board materials was $182,900. Motion carried on a board vote.
- East Boulevard High School football field lights upgrade (Agenda Item 9): The board awarded the project to KC Electric for a base bid of $198,600. The board used the base bids and declined alternates; the district said overall budgeted costs for all three lighting projects were below the original budgeted total.
- Maryville High School football field lights upgrade (Agenda Item 10): The board awarded the project to Integrity Electrical and Instrumentation for $215,041; staff said the Maryville quote was higher because one light tower may need replacement due to corrosion at the base.
- ITEP representative (Agenda Item 6): The board nominated and elected Garrett as the board's representative to provide input to the Louisiana economic development process on industrial tax exemption requests. There were no additional nominations; Garrett was congratulated by fellow members.
All listed motions were made, seconded and approved during the meeting; no roll-call tallies were published in the meeting transcript.
