Police Jury authorizes 6th Ward Fire District to seek written quotes for substation addition
Summary
The Jury unanimously authorized the 6th Ward Fire Protection District to request written quotes for an addition to its Highway 440 substation, noting the work is estimated to be below the public bid threshold and must follow La. R.S. 38:2212 and parish procurement rules.
The St. Helena Parish Police Jury voted unanimously on Feb. 10, 2026, to allow the 6th Ward Fire Protection District to solicit written quotes for an addition to its substation on Highway 440. Police Juror Doug Watson moved for the authorization and Jule C. Wascom seconded; jurors recorded the work as estimated to be below the public bid threshold.
The minutes note the authorization is to be executed in accordance with the Louisiana Public Bid Law (La. R.S. 38:2212) and applicable parish procurement requirements, meaning the district may pursue quotes rather than a formal public bid if the cost remains under the statutory threshold. The Jury recorded no objections and took no additional action at this meeting.
