Parish extends LA 3127 design services contract; staff says consultant proposals due next week
Summary
The finance committee approved a term extension for LA Highway 3127 design services and staff told members the amendment covers environmental assessment tasks and that consultant proposals are due next Thursday.
The Ascension Parish finance committee approved an amendment to the master contract for LA Highway 3127 extension design services on March 10, extending the contract term through April 30, 2026 while leaving the reported original contract price of $2,362,671 unchanged.
Chair Oliver asked for a status update on the LA 3127 work. A staff member said the current amendment covers environmental assessment work and that the contract has been extended to allow the parish to "tie up loose ends." The staff member added that proposals for a consultant design team are due next Thursday.
Why it matters: LA 3127 is a multi-year corridor project; extending design and assessment work affects the timing for consultant selection and for later design or right-of-way actions that will influence construction schedules and traffic in affected areas.
What was said: Chair Oliver asked for a full update on the project. According to staff, "we are extending the contract to tie up loose ends and ... proposals are due next Thursday." The staff member said the environmental assessment work has been on and off hold and the amendment is intended to complete outstanding tasks.
What’s next: Staff said it expects to present a potential consultant team for design services in the coming months after receiving proposals. The committee approved the amendment and members requested follow-up briefings to track project progress.
