Committee approves termite-shielding change order, 120‑day boiler extension and a fee waiver pending insurance

At its July 15 meeting the Lafourche Parish Land and Facilities Management Committee approved three formal actions: a small change order at Golden Meadow Middle School, a schedule extension for a boiler-replacement project and a field-use fee waiver for a local flag-football organization pending proof of insurance.

The committee approved a change order to add termite shielding to the Golden Meadow Middle School demolition and campus improvement project for $1,306.19; the record notes no change in design fees. The chair announced a motion to approve (mover and seconder recorded in the meeting record) and the motion carried.

On a separate item, the committee accepted a recommended change order to add 120 days to the schedule for the Lafourche Parish School District 2025 boiler-replacement project because of equipment delays. The motion to accept that extension was made and seconded during the meeting and approved by the committee.

During new business the committee considered a request from the South Lafourche Flag Football Organization to use the South Lafourche High School football field and to waive related usage fees for its season. A representative of the group told the committee its season runs from Aug. 29 to Oct. 24 and that insurance had recently lapsed; the representative said the organization had submitted a renewal. Committee members asked that valid insurance be in place before the group proceeds. The chair recorded a motion pending insurance and the motion carried.
