Financial reports for Southern University at Shreveport (SUSLA) and Southern University at New Orleans (SUNO) show auxiliary housing operations with negative or thin fund balances and reliance on rate revenue to cover operating and capital needs. 25M; SUNO’s total auxiliary fund balance is projected to be only 103104. SUSLA’s auxiliary summary, while overall positive, shows modest surpluses and highlights housing, dining, and other services operating on tight margins.These conditions suggest upcoming decisions about housing operations, including potential rate changes, outsourced management, renovations, or service redesign to restore financial health. Vendors in facilities consulting, housing operations, P3 housing development, capital planning, and student housing technology can approach SUNO and SUSLA leadership to help analyze options for turning around residence hall finances and planning sustainable upgrades.

SUNO’s negative housing fund balance and limited auxiliary reserves create urgency for structural solutions; SUSLA shows positive but modest auxiliary growth.

Pre-RFP

INDOT proposed revising special provision 620-R-483 because it has had difficulty obtaining coating materials for sound barrier posts. The change would add another coating option and keep the existing basis for use. It affects future INDOT sound barrier work and signals a specification change vendors should watch, but no procurement has been opened yet.

Public Updates

INDOT proposed correcting outdated AASHTO test references across Sections 502, 505, 506, 508, and 509 for portland cement concrete pavement, patching, equipment, and joint repair. The edits replace references to AASHTO T 23 with AASHTO R 100 and add clearer curing and testing language. This is a standards update that will affect future concrete work, but it is not a procurement.
