The Transportation, Highways and Public Works committee approved use of the construction-manager-at-risk (CMAR) procurement method for four projects — a Bogalusa community center emergency shelter and three school renovation/addition projects in Ascension Parish (Dutchtown High School, Gonzales Middle School, LeBlanc Special Services Center). Members discussed funding status, statutory thresholds, and cost-control reasons for using CMAR; motions were made and approved with no objections recorded.
