Coington Barn Replacement Funding

St. Tammany Parish LA has signaled a pre-RFP opportunity for the construction of a new barn at the Covington location, aimed at replacing the existing building infested with termites. The Finance Committee has approved a budget of $2.3 million for this project, with a total budget of $2.55 million, and construction is expected to begin in early 2027. During the meeting, it was discussed that previous attempts to treat the existing barn for termites have been unsuccessful, necessitating the construction of a new facility. This project represents a significant procurement opportunity for vendors specializing in construction and facility management within the public sector. An excerpt from the meeting highlights the urgency and details of the project: “addition, it'll be $355,000. 8:27 The second project on this amendment is for Coington barn number two.
