Calcasieu Parish Police Jury Regular Meeting 10/1/26

At its October 1, 2026 regular meeting, the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury approved amendments to professional engineering contracts for the Carlos Drive Extension Phase 2 and flood-mitigation and structural-drainage work. Members were told the Carlos Drive project remained on track for completion in the first quarter of 2027, with a dedicated school turn lane and no roundabout. The Jury also approved property servitudes and right-of-way actions for waterline, drainage, and bridge projects, and accepted the Rosenol boat launch improvements project as substantially complete.

The Jury authorized advertising for bids for the Gary Cutoff and West Parish Road bridge replacements and for emergency traffic-control device services, and issued a request for qualifications for on-call engineering design and consulting services for capital projects. It accepted bids for water-level monitoring station parts from Blue Water Design Technologies, Hydrolink Systems, and One Rain Incorporated, and for sign blanks from Lidle Enterprises, Osborne Associates, and Vulcan Signs. The meeting also included action on bids for two overhauled mosquito-control aircraft engines, though the transcript does not preserve the vendor or bid details. Other approved items included payment of current invoices, a HUD grant application for the Family Self-Sufficiency Program, and a cooperative endeavor agreement for a permanent supportive-housing initiative. A public hearing on property-tax assessment appeals followed; the transcript ends during the Venture Global appeal.
