Project Summary

• Budget: $350,000
• Architect/Engineer: ReliaPole Inspection Services
• Contractor: RIS and Sports Facilities (CSP)
• Project Completion: August 2011
• Description:
  Provide for replacement of parking lot and athletic field light poles at various facilities.
• Background/Justification:
  The Maintenance & Operations Department is currently having all parking lot and athletic field light poles in the District identified for inspections to assess the structural integrity of the poles.  The inspections will be used to develop a prioritized list of poles requiring repair or replacement.
  
  Prior to the end of this school year, a Mayde Creek Jr. High School tennis court light pole fell due to corrosion of the interior walls of the steel pole.  This corrosion was not visible from the outside of the pole.  Maintenance has since replaced all 6 light poles on those courts.  A similar situation recently occurred at Memorial Parkway Elementary with a parking lot light pole in the front circle drive.  This pole was repaired by Maintenance as well.  Fortunately, in both instances there was no one hurt and no property damaged by the deficient poles.
  
  Pole inspections are not yet complete, however the following is a preliminary, partial list of poles identified for further assessments:
