Jimmy Lauzon the High School Athletic Director and Alan Miller Building and Ground Director presented the latest from the Field Study Committee. The committee has been reviewing the condition of 10 athletic fields at the High school.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The District received an initial scope of work and estimate from Huntress Associates Inc<\/a> of $58,450.00 and will seek additional estimates before returning to the School Board. The Superintendent stated this could be part of next years budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Project Description<\/strong>
The project consists of preparing a feasibility study to assess the opportunities and constraints
associated with improving the use\/condition of the Athletic Fields and a 400m running track at
Londonderry High School Complex in Londonderry, New Hampshire. Masterplan design
services include the evaluation of up to ten (10) natural grass fields, including seven (7) existing
multi-purpose natural grass fields, two (2) baseball fields, one (1) softball field, and one (1)
400m running track and associated field events. The scope of work includes the evaluation of
up to two (2) fields suitable for conversion to synthetic turf, an overview of ADA compliance
throughout the complex, and a review of the current condition of all existing bleacher seating.
Base Plan Development<\/strong>
HAI to use available resources for the development of a suitable base plan. Available resources
include Londonderry GIS data, NHDES Mapping, and other publicly available sources.
Topographic survey, boundary survey, wetland delineation, and geotechnical investigation are
not included in this scope.
Letter Report and Associated Documents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Huntress Associates, Inc. will document the existing conditions and provide recommendations
for improvements to each field.
Letter Report:<\/strong> HAI to provide a letter report for each of the ten (10) fields. The report will
include the following:
a. Written analysis of existing conditions and recommendations for field improvements.
b. Ground and aerial photos of each field.
c. Topsoil analysis for each field, including particle size analysis, organic matter, soil
pH, and overall performance evaluation.
d. Construction cost estimate
Synthetic Turf Fields.<\/strong> HAI to provide a detailed review of up to two (2) fields for the potential
improvements to include synthetic turf, bleachers, sports lighting and associated site
improvements. Schematic plans will be provided at a scale of 1\u201d = 20\u2019 showing the proposed site
improvements, field sizes, bleacher seating, and egress\/access to and from the fields.
Master Plan Drawings:<\/strong> HAI to provide an overall site master plan outlining recommended
improvements to existing facilities, including walkways, fences, and parking areas. Schematic
plans will be provided at a scale of 1\u201d = 50\u2019 showing the proposed site improvements, field sizes,
bleacher seating, and egress\/access to and from the fields. The final report will outline any
outstanding deficiencies regarding ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) egress and
handicapped accessibility associated with all site features within the limit of work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
