Committee hears proposal for new 10‑foot athletic sign; architect and DSA review required
Summary
Staff told the facility subcommittee the proposed electronic sign for the high‑school field stands 10 feet tall and likely triggers Division of State Architect review; staff said an architect must prepare drawings before the district can finalize cost estimates or bid documents.
The facility and finance subcommittee heard a staff presentation on a proposed 10‑foot athletic sign for the high‑school field, and staff said the size of the unit will require an architect and DSA review before the project can proceed. "The sign itself, it's over 8 foot. It's a 10 foot sign," Eric Sahen said, adding that the architect must develop drawings before a formal program or bid package can be completed.
Staff said they are coordinating with a vendor and an architect and will return with formal cost estimates, including proposals for outdoor or indoor installation and foundation work. Sahen said installing the sign outdoors would avoid the added expense of penetrating a brick gym wall and constructing concrete piers, and staff agreed they would seek two proposals—one for an outdoor installation and one for an indoor alternative—so the committee can compare cost and usability.
Committee members asked staff to confirm code‑height measurements (adjacent finished grade vs. hill grade) and to provide the architect's written rationale for any fines or compliance issues flagged in the early review. The subcommittee also asked staff to supply actual bid estimates rather than rounded figures and to bring the architect's drawings and cost breakdown to a future meeting once available. The committee did not take formal action on the sign at this meeting; staff said they would follow up with a formal proposal when firm drawings and quotes are ready.
