Council approves water‑project change orders and awards jail roof contract totaling $290,000
Summary
St. Martin Parish Council unanimously approved two water‑project change orders (a $14,515.30 decrease and a $51,396.82 increase, both contingent on state program approval) and awarded the St. Martinville Jail roof contract to MorCore Roofing for $290,000, authorizing the Parish President to sign.
The St. Martin Parish Council on June 16 approved three resolutions affecting parish capital projects: two change orders for water‑system contracts and the award of a jail roof replacement contract.
Resolution No. 26‑060‑RS authorized Parish President Pete Delcambre to execute Change Order No. 2, a $14,515.30 decrease to the Tullier Services, LLC contract for St. Martin Consolidated Waterworks District No. 4 Project 1 (St. Martin Industrial Park Plant Upgrades). The resolution was adopted unanimously after a motion by Council member Corey Melancon and a second from Hoyt Louviere. The resolution language included a contingency: the execution is “contingent upon Louisiana Division of Administration Water Sector Program approval.”
Resolution No. 26‑061‑RS authorized Parish President Delcambre to execute Change Order No. 1, a $51,396.82 increase to Preferred Mechanical, LLC for Water Sector Project 2 (Water Distribution System Improvements). Council member Hoyt Louviere moved the resolution; Council member David Poirier seconded. The vote was unanimous and the resolution was recorded as adopted.
On Resolution No. 26‑062‑RS, the council awarded the St. Martinville Jail Roof Replacement Project to MorCore Roofing, LLC for the low responsive base bid of $290,000 following a written recommendation from Berard, Habetz & Associates, Inc. The council authorized Parish President Pete Delcambre to sign all necessary contract documents. The motion (moved by Corey Melancon; seconded by Carla JeanBatiste) carried unanimously.
Why it matters: The change orders adjust previously awarded contracts for water infrastructure work; both are subject to approval by the Louisiana Division of Administration Water Sector Program, which may affect timing or final execution. The jail roof contract award assigns a $290,000 project to the low responsive bidder and permits contract execution by the Parish President.
What’s next: The change orders require state program approval before final execution. The parish administration is authorized to finalize and sign the jail roof contract and proceed with project administration.
