CPPJ Regular Meeting 10/15/16

The Calcasieu Parish Police Jury’s regular meeting is identified in the transcript as October 15, 2026, though the supplied title and meeting-date metadata say 10/15/16 and 2016. The Jury approved the budget committee’s recommendations for gaming-fund grants, including $16,058 for fire skid units and nozzles, an $82,404 Ward 4/Water Works District item associated with West Wayside Drive drainage, and $387,500 for Sojourner Truth Technical Community College property acquisition for an energy exploration and production training center. It also approved a fiscal-year 2026 budget amendment. The Ways and Means Committee’s 2027 Road and Drainage Trust Fund grant recommendations were approved; named city allocations included $217,600 for DeQuincy, $388,800 for Lake Charles, and $114,800 for Westlake. The transcript also records $215,200, but the associated recipient and overall grant total are unclear.

Procurement actions included approval to advertise a request for proposals for professional grant-management and related services, and acceptance of RE Heidt Construction’s $3,419,137.82 bid for East Calcasieu Parish roads and drainage rehabilitation. The Jury also approved infrastructure-related actions for the Gotcha Road Sewer Project Phase 3, Big Lake Road waterline expansion, and Mount Union Junction water-treatment-plant well project, and accepted phase one of the Old Spanish Trail waterline upgrade as substantially complete. Motions on these items carried; no vendor selection or award is identified for the RFP.
