Summary

Engineers reported a ~45‑day delay at Coteau Bayou Blue, pile driving underway at Upper Little Calle Elementary, an Oak Lawn freezer/cooler replacement nearing completion and other smaller maintenance projects; staff also reported work to restore water to a baseball field and to demolish an unsafe canal‑side store.

During the latter portion of the meeting, committee staff and project engineers provided brief updates on several local construction and maintenance projects.

Coteau Bayou Blue: An engineer said the project is under construction but about 45 days behind schedule because of environmental issues; completion is projected for late March to early April, weather permitting.

Upper Little Calle Elementary: Pile driving is about halfway complete, with roughly 70 piles planned; contractors expected to finish that phase the week after Mardi Gras and to begin pouring pile caps soon.

Oak Lawn freezer and cooler replacement: Taylor LeBlanc of CGU Engineers reported that major equipment is onsite and installation is scheduled over the Mardi Gras break, with substantial completion expected shortly after.

Other items: Staff reported completed work at the HLB Athletic building, ongoing lighting and grant work at Evergreen, canopies being removed at South Terrebonne and initial demo activity at LaCash. The office is obtaining pricing to remove the deteriorating Boudreaux Canal store.

Utilities follow‑up: A waterline repair and a new bottle‑filler for South Terrebonne’s baseball field were described; staff said contractors will tie into an existing 2‑inch line next Thursday and that the remaining bottle filler is on order. A board member raised a prior pipe break during a freeze that left a high school without restroom water for a game; staff said they would investigate and report back.

No votes were taken on these items; engineers answered questions and the committee moved to adjourn.
