Tangipahoa Parish awards West Mulberry and Hoover Road contracts; approvals contingent on state sign-off
Summary
The council accepted low bids for West Mulberry Street extension ($1,192,595 to Warner Construction) and Hoover Road widening Phase 21A ($1,367,350 to Arbor Construction). Both approvals passed 9-0 and were noted as contingent on state approval or state capital outlay funds.
The Tangipahoa Parish Council on Nov. 24 approved two construction contracts for road projects, both contingent on state approval:
- West Mulberry Street extension: the parish received 11 bids and named Warner Warner Construction of Franklinton the low bidder at $1,192,595. The council approved the bid on a 9-0 roll-call vote; parish officials noted the approval is contingent on state approval.
- Hoover Road widening (Phase 21A): Arbor Construction of Baton Rouge submitted the low bid at $1,367,350 from a field of 12 bidders. The council approved the contract on a roll-call vote recorded as 9-0; this approval is contingent on state capital outlay approval.
Parish staff indicated contingency on state reviews because portions of the funding or project oversight require state sign-off. Both items were moved, seconded and passed on roll-call votes with no recorded public objections in the transcript.
Next steps: county staff will forward the approvals to the state for final authorization and proceed with contract award administration once state approvals are received.
