Council approves award for replacement of wastewater sludge thickener
Summary
Council adopted Ordinance 27 of 2025 to allow the mayor to award a bid for replacement of sludge thickener No.1 at the Natchitoches wastewater treatment plant; one bidder (McGinnis Brother Construction) submitted a proposal and council voted to approve the award.
Councilman Eddie Harrington read Ordinance 27 of 2025 authorizing the mayor to award the bid for equipment replacement of sludge thickener No. 1 at the City of Natchitoches wastewater treatment plant. Council recorded that there was a single bid from McGinnis Brother Construction of Amindon, Louisiana, and moved to adopt the ordinance.
Council discussed the project's scope and materials, noting this is the second phase of upgrades to the facility and seeking durability improvements; the mayor and councilmembers said the replacement will use stainless steel components to improve longevity. The mayor described the project cost in discussion as roughly near $1 million (the transcript lists "900 something" plus an additional "and 87,000"), and emphasized the work is necessary to avoid infrastructure failures.
The council held a roll-call vote and adopted the ordinance. Council members present voted in favor.
