Council awards Kennedy Heights drainage contract to CM Contractors of Louisiana; DOTD to partly fund project
Summary
The council unanimously approved a resolution awarding the Kennedy Heights Drainage Improvements Project to CM Contractors of Louisiana; city staff said the award follows bid review and that DOTD will provide partial funding.
The Gonzales Mayor and City Council unanimously approved a resolution awarding the Kennedy Heights Drainage Improvements Project contract to CM Contractors of Louisiana during its April 27 meeting.
Mr. Jared presented the draft resolution, stating the project was bid, reviewed and recommended by the engineer and that executing the resolution is required by the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development (DOTD) for the city to receive part of the project funding. Council members moved to approve and the resolution passed by roll call.
The engineer later reported DOTD has completed its review required for certification; staff said a kickoff meeting with the engineer and contractor is expected within roughly two weeks and that construction scheduling will be reported at the next meeting.
Funding note: meeting remarks indicated the project will be partly DOTD-funded; council did not provide a detailed dollar figure in the public remarks recorded in the transcript.
Next steps: staff to schedule the DOTD-required kickoff and circulate the project schedule when available.
