THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The council will approve Change Order No. 1 adding $12,871 to the I-49 N. Service Road Waterline Extension Project (MGA Project W321) with Bihm Construction Company. This indicates the waterline extension is under active construction with scope or cost adjustments. Contractors and utility service firms should view this as confirmation that the project is moving and look for related work such as tie-ins, paving, restoration, or future phases along the I-49 corridor.
MGA Project W321 suggests engineer of record is likely Meyer, Meyer, LaCroix & Hixson or similar, but no engineer is named in the agenda text.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will City of Opelousas issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks City of Opelousas's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
How can vendors engage with City of Opelousas before the RFP is published?
