City of Baker accepts Baker Boulevard and Bentley Drive work as complete
Summary
Council adopted a resolution accepting the final inspection for the Baker Boulevard and Bentley Drive improvements, declaring contract work complete as of Feb. 12, 2026, and formally accepting the project in regular session.
The City of Baker council voted March 10 to accept the final inspection and declare complete the Baker Boulevard and Bentley Drive improvement project. The resolution states the contract work was declared complete on Feb. 12, 2026, and the city accepted the work "in accordance with the contract documents."
Councilmember Collins moved to adopt the resolution and Dr. Charles Vincent seconded; the council approved the resolution on a voice vote with no recorded opposition. The acceptance closes the city's record of construction for that contract and allows administrative closeout steps to proceed.
The resolution, read on the record, refers to a contract with the Louisiana Department of Transportation (project SP number partially read on the record) and notes authorized representatives, the contractor and the engineer reviewed the work before declaring it complete.
Next steps: Formal administrative closeout (final payments, warranties and as‑built documentation) would follow per standard city contracting practice; the transcript records the council’s acceptance but does not enumerate subsequent administrative tasks or dollar totals in this session.
The acceptance was placed on the record and approved by the council during the meeting's resolutions section.
