Council approves small cost adjustment and substantial-completion action for Ponchatoula sidewalks

Parish President Miller presented Change Order No. 1 for the Ponchatoula pedestrian improvements (North 5th Street and East Beach Street sidewalk extension), stating the updated quantities reduce the cost by $605 and make the total $2,019,107. "This updates the quantities that were used for the project. It reduces the cost by $605, making the total cost $2,019,107 dollars," he said.

Later the president presented a request to accept substantial completion for the same project "contingent upon the punch list," saying staff expected the punch-list items to be handled and the project closed out. The council moved, seconded, and approved both the change order and the substantial-completion action by roll-call votes.
