The Livingston Parish School Board named Alvin Fairburn Associates as the professional of record for the Albany High School carpentry shop project, authorized the superintendent to advertise the project for sealed bids and granted tax-exempt status for the project.
A project presenter told the board drawings should be finished in approximately two weeks and that the project needs to be completed by August, creating an accelerated timeline for bidding and construction. The board moved to name Alvin Fairburn Associates as the professional of record; members approved the motion by voice vote with no recorded opposition. The superintendent was then granted authority to advertise the project for sealed bids. Finally, the board voted to grant tax-exempt status for the project as requested.
The record names a project contact/representative for the professional firm (record reads 'mister Jean Alsall' as pro director) and lists Alvin Fairburn Associates as the chosen firm. No formal budget or contract price was recorded in the transcript; the board authorized the procurement steps and tax-exempt status so bidding may proceed.
