St. James Parish closes $12 million bonds for West Bank multi-purpose building; project moves to bid
Summary
Parish President Peter Dufresne said the parish closed on $12 million in revenue bonds for the West Bank Multi-Purpose Building and expects to advertise for construction bids in the coming weeks after final design coordination.
Parish President Peter Dufresne told the Council that the parish "closed on the $12 million revenue bonds for the West Bank Multi-Purpose Building and the funds are now available," and that final design coordination is complete, allowing the project to go to bid in the next couple of weeks.
Dufresne also reported recent procurement activity and project updates: the lowest qualified bid for Rosary Street Drainage utility relocation came in at $524,521 and the parish will issue the contract after engineer approval. He said crews are clearing the spoil bank for the East Bank Interconnect Levee, expected to conclude in about two weeks, and that installation of concrete sheathing on the Buddy Whitney Canal is scheduled to begin next week despite recent heavy rains.
