Parish approves $1.14 million Maury drainage contract and $9,800 Plattsville outfall sweep
Summary
The Assumption Parish drainage committee approved a $1,141,518.75 contract with Sage Construction for Maury area drainage improvements and separately approved a $9,800 Plattsville outfall sweep, both to be paid from drainage allocations pending funding confirmation.
The drainage committee of the Assumption Parish Police Jury approved two drainage actions: awarding a $1,141,518.75 construction contract for Maury area drainage improvements and authorizing a $9,800 outfall sweep in Plattsville.
Chair (speaker 3) introduced the larger project and read the contract amount: “Sage Construction, $1,141,518.75,” and asked the panel to authorize the president and secretary‑treasurer to sign contract documents pending confirmation that funding agents are current and funds are available. Members moved and seconded the motion and the chair recorded that the motion carried.
The committee also discussed a smaller Plattsville project. Chair (speaker 3) said the remaining work would be completed by Mr. Blanchard at a total cost of $9,800 to come from the drainage allocation; the motion to approve was seconded and passed.
Why it matters: the two approvals commit drainage allocation funds and authorize staff to execute contracts or purchase orders, enabling work on local drainage infrastructure that county staff said is ready to proceed as weather and funding allow.
Next steps: the president and secretary‑treasurer were authorized to sign contract documents for the Maury work once funding confirmation is received; the Plattsville sweep will be scheduled and paid from the drainage allocation.
