Board approves sports‑lighting and roofing contracts, plus other capital projects funded by East/ESP
Summary
The board authorized contracts for sports lighting at middle school practice fields (Musco Lighting) and roofing projects across several schools (Macallum Metal Works), with funding from East/ESP project funds; staff noted ball‑tracking technology and explained priority for middle‑school scheduling.
Facilities staff recommended contracting Musco Lighting to install sports lighting (including ball‑tracking technology) at middle school practice fields and the ED4 sports complex and contracting Macallum Metal Works for roofing projects at multiple schools. Both contracts were approved and will be funded from East/ESP project funds.
Mr. Kitchens explained that middle schools were prioritized for lighting because their practice windows are more affected by daylight-saving and later practice schedules. He said the practice-field lighting meets GHSA foot‑candle requirements and includes ball‑tracking technology to avoid losing sight of high fly balls. The roofing contract will address projects at Sky View, Heritage, Howard Middle/High and Rutland Middle/High.
Board members approved the contracts by voice vote and the items were added to the consent agenda.
Next steps: procurement staff will finalize contract documents and the projects will move into the procurement/installation phase; staff cited East/ESP as the funding source.
