The Public Works Committee recommended awarding hot-mix overlay work to Amethyst Construction ($1,275,471.55), purchasing a dump truck from Bruckner’s Truck and Equipment ($169,412.00), setting sewer rates at $46.00 per month for 2026, and adjusting speed limits on two parish roads.
The Public Works Committee reported several procurement and regulatory recommendations. The committee recommended awarding low-bid hot-mix overlays to Amethyst Construction for $1,275,471.55 and awarding a low bid for a dump truck to Bruckner’s Truck and Equipment for $169,412.00. It also recommended advertising for bids on routine supplies (fuel, gravel, culverts, hot-mix maintenance) and a generator project.
In addition, the committee recommended setting the 2026 sewer rate at $46.00 per month and adjusting speed limits—Parish Park Road to 25 MPH and Mt. Harmony Church Road to 35 MPH. Several subdivision plats (Mary E.K. Freeland Unit No. 2; Mondy Road Estates with contingencies; Ruston-Lincoln Realty with variances) were recommended for approval by the committee.
