Detention pond projects halted

BY ADAM DAIGLE | Acadiana business editor​ ​ ​

A contract between Lafayette Consolidated Government and a Youngsville engineering firm hired by former Lafayette Mayor-President Josh Guillory to work on the Homewood Drive and Coulee Ile Des Cannes detention pond projects has been terminated by Mayor-President Monique Boulet for breach of contract.

Lafayette City-Parish Attorney Pat Ottinger on Jan. 30 sent a notice of default to McBade Engineers & Consultants of Youngsville alleging the company failed to live up to the terms of the Homewood contract dated May 12, 2021, and amended on Dec. 30, 2021, to add the Ile Des Cannes project near Scott.
