Board approves contracts, surplus property sale and HVAC project; child nutrition warehouse step advances
Summary
The board approved several committee recommendations including declaring the old Grand Cay Elementary surplus, awarding garbage collection services to Republic Services, accepting a bid for an HVAC replacement at Village East Elementary with a $2,858,076 project budget (including contingency), and advanced a child nutrition warehouse procurement step though the transcript’s budget number was unclear and is recorded as unclear in the minutes.
The Terrebonne Parish School Board approved a package of committee recommendations that included property disposition, service contracts and facility project awards.
The buildings, food service and transportation committee asked the board to declare the buildings and property at 6741 Grand Cay Road in Dulac (the old Grand Cay Elementary School) surplus and authorized its sale subject to the board attorney’s review and signatures by the board president or superintendent. The board approved the recommendation without objection.
The committee also recommended accepting a proposal from BFI Waste Services, LLC (doing business as Republic Services of New Orleans) for garbage collection services for a three-year term beginning July 1, 2026, with options to extend in three-year increments by mutual agreement; the board approved the recommendation. (The transcript read the contract term and extension language; the clerk and committee sponsor reported the apparent contract dates as July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2029 with options to extend.)
For Village East Elementary, the board accepted the lowest responsive bid from Doyle Group LLC for replacement of the HVAC system and approved alternate number 1 (addition of a security vestibule). The committee established a total project budget of $2,858,076, which the committee announced includes a 10% contingency.
The committee also recommended issuing a notice to proceed with a design agreement for plans and specifications for a child nutrition warehouse project and establishing a project budget. The numeric amount read during the meeting appears garbled in the recording/transcript; the minutes record a budget figure that could not be confidently verified from the audio (the transcript includes an unclear long numeric string). The board advanced the procurement step and authorized necessary signatures to proceed; the board vote carried without public objection.
All committee recommendations were moved and seconded during the meeting and carried with no sustained public opposition recorded during the discussion.
