The Kenner City Council voted unanimously on a slate of procurement, contract and grant measures during its Dec. 4 meeting.

Key approvals included an amendment to the existing contract with Economical Janitorial and Paper Supplies LLC to increase the annual amount by $70,000 — bringing the not-to-exceed annual total to $140,000 (summary ordinance No. 13,991); acceptance of the lowest responsible bid from Economical Janitorial and Paper Supplies LLC for cleaning and disinfecting supplies not to exceed $100,000 annually (Ord. 13,992); and acceptance of a federal FY26 grant from the U.S. Department of Justice and the Louisiana Commission on Law Enforcement for DARE officer salaries, training and materials in the amount of $21,970 (Ord. 13,993).

The council ratified an emergency repair to Hydromatic HMPC pump No. 2 at the Roan Lift Station by Fluid Process and Pumps LLC for $10,890 (Ord. 13,994). It also approved change order No. 2 to the construction agreement with M R Pittman Group LLC for the Kenner WWTP No. 3 clarifiers rehabilitation project — increasing the contract by $59,644.67, extending the contract time by 35 calendar days and accepting the project as complete, per the wastewater department (Ord. 13,995). A department representative said the clarifiers went into service Sept. 15 and that unforeseen concrete and high-flow/rain events required additional work and time to pump down the clarifiers during completion.

Other vendor and service approvals included the utilization of a Jefferson Parish contract with Southern Synergy LLC for thermoplastic pavement markings (not to exceed $250,000 annually — Ord. 13,996) and renewal/selection of MB3 (Civic / Civics Consulting Group) for grant-technical assistance services for the community development department (Ord. 13,997). Council also approved a cooperative endeavor agreement with Jefferson Parish for consolidated master planning for the Laketown and Esplanade Mall area not to exceed $75,000 (Ord. 13,998).

All measures on this group passed by voice vote with the council recorded as unanimous (7-0). City staff will proceed with contract administration and grant acceptance steps described in the agenda materials.
