Daniel Webster Middle School New Baseball and Softball Fields Project

The Project will install a new baseball field and a new softball field including backstops, dugouts, bullpens, fencing, portable bleachers, and scoreboards on the existing baseball and football fields of the Campus (Exhibit A). The Board of Education approved the project’s budget of $2,829,095 on November 19, 2024. Minor work will include improvements to ensure compliance with local, state, and federal requirements including those of the American with Disabilities Act (ADA), Division of State Architect (DSA), and Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC). The Project will be implemented pursuant to all applicable State, federal, and local regulations and all applicable Los Angeles Unified School District (LA Unified or District) specifications, standards, and/or guidelines, including those in compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the updated Standard Conditions of Approval for District Construction, Upgrade, and Improvements Projects (SC) as adopted by the Board of Education on December 12, 2023. LA Unified’s SCs, design guidelines, and best management practices are designed to be incorporated into the Project design to avoid or limit potential adverse impacts associated with the District’s projects. The beneficiaries of the Project include Webster MS’s students, faculty, staff, families, school supporters, and the community at large who may request access to the Campus pursuant to the Civic Center Act (CA Ed. Code Sections 38130 — 38139). The proposed athletic facilities upgrade will support the school’s physical education program, competitive athletic programs and allow the school to host athletic events and other school community events. The upgraded athletic facilities, once completed, will provide modem high-performance athletic facilities that support physical educational programs, student athletic achievement, and competitive athletic programs.
