CARTER, C. J.

This suit arises from a public bid dispute over a thirty-six million dollar construction project ("the project) for the State of Louisiana, Department of Transportation and Development ("DOTD").

JB James Construction, L.L.C. ("Appellant"), instituted suit against DOTD and James Construction Group, L.L.C. ("JCG"), seeking to enjoin DOTD from awarding the contract for the project, to have the award of the project remanded to DOTD for a determination of the lowest responsive bidder, and alternatively, for a judgment declaring the nullity of the contract. Appellant did not seek a temporary restraining order and, after suit was filed, DOTD awarded the contract to JCG, and JCG began work on the project. The sole issue in this appeal is whether the trial court correctly sustained a dilatory exception raising the objection of unauthorized use of a summary proceeding and dismissed a rule for injunction when the act sought to be enjoined (the award of the contract for the project) had been accomplished.1

After reviewing the record and applicable law, we find no error in the decision of the trial court. Once the act sought to be enjoined had occurred (i.e., the contract was awarded), the injunctive relief sought by Appellant was rendered moot, and Appellant's recourse was by ordinary proceeding.2 See La. Rev. Stat. Ann. § 38:2220B; Benson Const. Co., Inc. v. City of Shreveport, 592 So.2d 1307 (La. 1992);3 Bristol Steel and Iron Works, Inc. v. State, Dept. of Transp. and Development, 507 So.2d 1233, 1235 (La. 1987).

For the foregoing reasons, the judgment of the trial court is affirmed in accordance with Uniform Court of Appeal Rule 2-16.2A(2) and(6). Costs of this appeal are assessed to Appellant, JB James Construction, L.L.C.

MOTION DENIED; JUDGMENT AFFIRMED.
