Description:
PHS Athletic Improvements and Districtwide Track Geotechnical Analysis
We request approval of up to $350,000 to remodel existing PHS athletic spaces and replace equipment. The steering committee recommends remodeling rather than constructing a new facility, with work contracted directly where possible to reduce costs. Wrestling Room Install 10mm rubber flooring to allow use of a single layer of wrestling mats, improve safety, and make the room easier to use for other activities. Weight Room Replace outdated and unserviceable equipment and repair the room, including flooring, walls, ventilation, and the opening to the gym. Estimated cost: $125,000 ($95,000 for equipment and $30,000 for room improvements). Basketball Hoops Replace malfunctioning competition hoops and evaluate replacement of practice hoops. Estimated cost: $35,000 for competition hoops only or $75,000 for all hoops. Track Geotechnical Analysis We also request approval to obtain geotechnical analysis at all three tracks to inform project specifications and begin the request for proposals (RFP) process. |
