Jury approves $22,000 amendment for arena roof engineering work; alternate bids to be considered
Summary
The jury approved an amended addendum of $22,000 to CJ Savoie’s engineering contract for large arena roof repairs and asked the firm to provide alternate (lower‑cost) design options for comparison.
Assumption Parish jurors approved an amendment to CJ Savoie’s engineering contract to support design and repair work on the large arena roof, amending the addendum to $22,000 on Jan. 23.
The engineering presenter reviewed prior designs and bid history and recommended either a standing‑seam roof (higher cost but longer service life) or an alternative screw‑down roof option that could reduce expected construction costs by an estimated $80,000–$100,000. The firm said it would provide pricing for both the original and lower‑cost alternate designs.
Committee members asked for the alternate bids to be prepared as part of the engineering work. The jury approved the engineering amendment at $22,000 on a motion, and staff agreed to deliver amended documents reflecting the revised engineering fee.
Next steps: CJ Savoie will provide alternate bid design options and the amended contract documents; staff will return the matter to the committee when those deliverables are available.
