Scott awards Rue Bon Secours roadwork to Glen Leger; council amends roadway budget
Summary
The council awarded the 2021 Rue Bon Secours patching and overlay project to Glen Leger for $499,287 and unanimously approved a $950,000 budget amendment to cover roadway work after engineers said inflation pushed costs over budget.
Councilman Boudreaux moved and Councilman Montoucet seconded a motion to award the 2021 roadway patching and overlay bid for Rue Bon Secours to Glen Leger for $499,287.00. The motion carried unanimously.
Mr. Mark Savoy of Groom's Engineering told the council that the project came in over the original budget because of inflation, a factor that contributed to the bidding outcome. "This item came in over budget total because of inflation," Mr. Savoy stated during the meeting.
Following the award, Councilman Bergeron moved to amend the roadway project budget by $950,000 to accommodate the increased costs; Councilman Boudreaux seconded and the amendment carried unanimously. The minutes do not specify the source of the additional funds or a schedule for construction.
The award and budget amendment together commit the city to the project procurement and to allocating additional budget authority; further details about contract execution, start date, and funding sources were not recorded and will be contingent on subsequent administrative steps.
