ARPA-funded shutters and ramps project marked substantially complete; contractor to replace four defective shutters
Summary
Council approved change order and certificate of substantial completion for the ARPA 'one block at a time' shutters and handicap ramps project; the project architect said shutters are operable, hurricane-resistant composite louvers and the contractor will replace four defective shutters at one house (estimated $3,000).
The City of New Iberia approved a change order and a certificate of substantial completion for an American Rescue Plan Act-funded 'one block at a time' project that installed operable hurricane-resistant shutters and handicap ramps at participating residences.
The project architect told the council the shutters are operable, louvered-style composite units with latching mechanisms so residents can close them for storms. He said the contractor finished the ramps and shutters and that one resident withdrew from the program, creating a credit back into the project. For one house four shutters were shipped with manufacturer defects; the contractor will replace those units and staff estimated a corrective price of about $3,000 to cover labor, materials and shipping. Council voted to approve the change order and the certificate of substantial completion; the transcript records the action but does not provide a roll-call count in the audio text provided.
