Terrebonne Parish agenda lists multiple infrastructure and facility contracts, including $5.7M dredging proposal
Summary
Agenda materials reviewed on the May 11 briefing included several procurement and project items: a proposed $5.7 million contract for bayou dredging, a substation maintenance contract, a $1.577 million building change order and a series of acceptances and service agreements; the presenter read these as resolutions or agreements on the council agenda.
The Terrebonne Parish council agenda for the week of May 11 included multiple procurement and capital-project items, the presenter said, ranging from utility maintenance to waterfront dredging and facility work.
The presenter listed a contract proposal to Karacco LLC for a Bayou dredging project with a stated total expenditure of $5.7 million and described the work as intended to "kick off the project of dredging" the parish waterway from downtown up to the parish line. The agenda item appears as a resolution or contract award request; the recorded summary did not include a vote tally or final approval in the transcript.
Also on the agenda was a resolution for repairs, maintenance and reliability testing for electrical substations to support the parish electrical distribution division; the presenter described this as systemwide maintenance and support but did not read a dollar amount for that contract.
A change order tied to the Whitney Bank building project (referred to in the reading as the Don Schwab Center for Business and Government after a renaming) was listed with a project budget of $1.577 million. The presenter framed that entry as a construction agreement change order; the agenda copy read the budget figure but the broadcast did not include additional contract text or approval language.
Other listed items included a small change order for Stark Corporation to add a monument sign foundation and columns at the crisis center that the presenter said would be paid by Stark (quoted amount: $2,200), acceptance of work performed by BET Construction for the crisis center (the presenter said the consolidated parish government provided funding toward the project), and an acceptance item for LA Contracting Enterprises LLC showing a substantial-completion date of April 16, 2026 for Phase 2 of the South Louisiana Wetlands Discovery Center.
The presenter read an agenda item for an agreement between the parish and Hadel Family Practice to provide professional medical services at the juvenile justice complex, and a cooperative agreement to transfer movable property to a local organization identified as "the Haven" at a Dun Street location. The program did not state contract lengths, procurement method, departmental assignees or vote outcomes for these items.
The agenda reading presented these as items before the council or committees rather than as completed approvals; minutes or later meeting records would be needed to confirm final votes, contract amounts, awardees and implementation steps.
The presenter closed the procurement segment by inviting viewers to consult council materials or attend meetings for additional detail and participation instructions.
