Board approves $247,985 project budget and $227,000 demolition bid for La Cache Middle School
Summary
The board awarded demolition of La Cache Middle School to HFL Demolition LLC for $227,000 and set a $247,985 project budget funded mainly by FEMA reimbursement and local funds; staff named Brandon Abraham as the contractor contact.
The Terrebonne Parish School Board approved a recommendation on Jan. 6 to accept the lowest responsive bid from HFL Demolition LLC of Chauvin, Louisiana, to demolish La Cache Middle School. The bid award is $227,000; the board established a total project budget of $247,985 to cover the work and related costs.
Board materials and staff said the project will be funded primarily with FEMA reimbursement funds ($223,186.50) and local funds ($24,798.50). When asked about the contractor, staff identified Brandon Abraham as the owner of HFL Demolition LLC during the meeting.
Why it matters: The demolition proceeds from Hurricane-impacted recovery work and will be funded largely by FEMA reimbursements, minimizing local capital outlay. Board members expressed regret about losing the building but noted the need to move forward with recovery projects.
Next steps: The board authorized the board president or superintendent to sign all documents necessary to execute the demolition contract.
