RE: North Andover Baseball Field Replacement Scoreboard Column/Foundation Design
Carl Thomas Field Complex
(1)[3,1 Project No. D3557)
Deal-Mark:
As requested (per our proposal dated 8/5/16) we have reviewed the structural requirements for
the foundations and support columns of the two proposed scoreboards at the referenced facility.
Based on the information you provided, each scoreboard is to be supported on two wide flange
steel columns spaced at 4'on center. The top of the scoreboards (with sponsor panels above) will
be no more than 16'-6" above the finished grade (10' to bottom of scoreboards). The steel support
columns are to be cast directly into round (formed) concrete piers which are embedded into the
ground.
Each scoreboard will be 4'high by 8'wide by 8" deep and will have a 1'-9" high by 8'wide sponsor
board across the top. The scoreboards will be supported by two wide flange steel columns, placed
4'-0" on center, which will be inserted into round concrete piers. The scoreboards are to be
mounted to the wide flange steel columns such that the columns are oriented properly per the
manufacturer's details (webs of columns perpendicular to the face of the scoreboard).
Our calculations have determined that the wide flange steel columns can be reduced from the
manufacturer's suggested W8x3 l's to W6x20's based on the size of the scoreboard, sponsor pan-
els, and height above grade (using the code specified wind speed of 100 MPH). Steel shall be 50
Ksi, We recommend the columns be hot dipped galvanized.
The support columns shall be cast directly into formed 24" diameter round concrete piers which
are embedded into the supporting soils (2,000 psf minimum bearing capacity assumed- must be
confirmed by the contractor). The piers shall have an embedment depth of 5'-9" below finished
grade and the wide flange steel columns shall be embedded 5'-6" below grade into the concrete
piers (centered). The soil below and surrounding the concrete piers shall be thoroughly and
properly compacted during backfilling and shall be backfilled evenly to prevent uneven loading.
The concrete must be air entrained concrete with a minimum compressive strength of 3000 psi at
28 days.

PROPOSED REPLACEMENT OF
SCOREBOARDS ON CARL THOMAS I
& CARL THOMAS 2
NORTH ANDOVER BOOSTER CLUB LITTLE LEAGUE P.O. BOX 416 NORTH ANDOVER, MA 01845
www.nayouthbasebalt.org
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The Carl Thomas Field Complex located off Massachusetts Avenue and Dana Street currently
consists of three baseball fields, Carl Thomas I/Upper which borders Dana and Marblehead
Streets,Carl Thomas 2/Lower and Carl Thomas 3 which border Massachusetts Avenue. Two of
these fields, Carl Thomas I and 2 have existing scoreboards (refer to Attachment No. 1). The
scoreboard at Carl Thomas 1 is located in the southwest corner/right field outside the fenced in
playing field. This scoreboard is supported by two (2) -4 x4"steel tubes that are installed on a
concrete footing, and was once powered from the concession stand through buried conduit and a
light controller by this building. 1-lowever,power was Cut off several years ago when the light
controller was removed. This scoreboard is currently not functional and is obsolete. A manual
scoreboard is located in right centerfield of Carl Thomas 2 outside the fenced field, and is
installed on two (2)pressure treated 4 x 4 posts. Pictures of the existing scoreboards at Carl
Thomas I and 2 are included in Attachment No. 1.
Proposed Replacement of Scoreboards
Through fundraising efforts,North Andover Booster Club Little League (NABCLL.)has secured
funding from Commonwealth Motors of Lawrence, MA for the purchase of two (2) solar
powered scoreboards to replace the existing ones at Carl Thomas I/Upper and 2/Lower.
Tnstallation of the sign footings, steel supports and the signs will be performed with volunteer
labor and equipment. The existing scoreboard at each field will be removed and disposed of
legally,with the concrete footing at Carl Thomas I demolished to below grade. The new
scoreboards will be erected in the same locations as the existing ones,
Scoreboard Construction
Two (2) options for powering the scoreboards were considered, including electric and solar.
Electric power was considered for each location as the purchase cost for this type of scoreboard is
far less than the solar powered model. Flowever, the condition of the existing buried conduit to
the scoreboard at Carl Thomas I is unknown and likely new conduit and an electric service would
need to be installed back to the Concession Stand. There is also no electric power installed to the
scoreboard at Carl Thomas Lower. New conduit would need to be installed from the concession
stand to this scoreboard. The costs to install new conduit and electric power to each new score
board and the restoration of the trench areas were evaluated in comparison to the costs of solar
powered scoreboards. Based on our assessment of the costs, and impacts to the playing fields,
NABC LL concluded that it was more cost effective and environmentally friendly to install solar
scoreboards.

Scoreboard Construction &Details
A graphic representation of the scoreboards is included in Attachment No. 2, and features a
sponsor panel at the top of each scoreboard(front and back) for Commonwealth Motors. The
background colors are red and black which are consistent with those of the North Andover
Knights. The scoreboards will be Model MSBBS5 LED as manufactured by BSN Sports and
each will be powered by two (2) solar panels.
Each scoreboard will be 4' high x 8' wide x 8" deep,with an 8' wide sponsor banner at the top
and be supported by two (2)W6 x 20 hot dip galvanized steel (50 Ksi) columns, spaced 4' on
center that will be embedded in concrete footings. Based on calculations and the letter(copy
enclosed) prepared by Daigle Engineers, each of the W6 columns will be supported by a 24"
diameter concrete footing, with a depth of 5'-9"below grade. Each W6 x 20 column will be
centered in the footing and be embedded 5'-6" in the concrete. Mounting columns will extend
14'-6" above grade with each scoreboard attached to the supports by the mounting flanges on the
board. Scoreboards will be mounted approximately 6" below the top Of the supports with the
sponsor panel extending above the poles by approximately 1'-3", bringing the total height of the
board to approximately 15'-9"above the existing grades.
The scoreboards will each be powered by two (2) 50watt solar panels,with the panels mounted
on the top of the support poles with brackets. A battery box will be mounted to the back of the
right pole/1-bearn when viewing the scoreboard from the rear at a height that is easily accessible
for installing and removing the battery. One rninitnurn 80 Amp-Hour rating battery will be
installed in the battery to power the scoreboard. The scoreboard is then wired to the battery box.
Electrical connections will be made by a licensed electrician.
Scoreboards will be remotely operated from a controller and turned off after evening games and
the last weekend games.
Installation instructions and operating details are included in Attachment No. 3.
Impact of Lighted Scoreboards
Games are played on Carl Thomas I and 2 each weekday evening and on weekends with games
ending by 8:00 PM. Therefore, there should be no impact on the abutters form the lighted
scoreboards.

STEP 1: MOUNT THE BATTERY BOX
The battery box is designed to mount to the back of the right polell-beam when viewing the
scoreboard from the rear. Electrical connections, in conduit, will be made from the solar panel(s)
to this battery box.
The battery box should be mounted on the right polell-beam at a height that is easily accessible.
This box must be accessed to install/remove the internal battery, connect/disconnect an optional
external battery, and turn power to the scoreboard on and off. If there are plans to use an
external battery with this system, then the battery box should be mounted at a height that will
allow for the provided 6 foot hookup cable. The connection for the external battery is located on
the bottom of the gray electrical switch box found on the right side of the battery.
The mounting strap attached to the back of the battery box should be used to mount the battery
box to the polell-beam. It is recommended that the strap be welded to the pole/I-beam.
However, the strap and polell-beam can be drilled to allow for hardware mounting using bolts,
nuts, and washers. Any hardware required to mount the battery box to the pole/I-beam is not
included and is the responsibility of the installer.

the supplied 318-16 X %" bolts, 318" flat washers, and 3/8" hex nuts. The brackets fit inside the
panel. The top (for top-mounted installations) or the bottom (for bottom-mounted installations) of
each panel is pre-drilled for the brackets. Note that a flat washer should be used on both top and
on bottom of the panel, as illustrated on the back.
2. Lift the sponsor panel into place with the panel resting on top of the scoreboard for top-mounted
installations or against the bottom of the scoreboard for bottom-mounted installations, with the
face of the panel flat against the scoreboard's front 1-112" tall flange, as illustrated on the back.
3. Attach the mounting brackets (already attached to the sponsor panel) to the scoreboard's
mounting angle iron, as illustrated on the back. Welding is recommended as the scoreboard's
mounting angle iron and back flange are not pre-drilled to accept the mounting brackets. If the
mounting brackets are bolted to the scoreboard, all mounting hardware is the responsibility of the
installer.
4. Install tek screws through the scoreboard's front 1-112" tall flange and into the sponsor panel face,
spaced every one foot.

STEP 2: INSTALL THE "U" BRACKETS
Each "U" bracket should be mounted to the top of each pole/I-beam, (or cross beam), when
viewing the scoreboard from the rear. The suggested method for mounting the "U" brackets is
welding, though customer supplied brackets and hardware may also be used. Refer to the
diagrams below.
NOTE: The "U" brackets should be positioned so that they run in an East-West direction
regardless of the orientation of the scoreboard.When the "U" brackets are mounted in this way,
the solar panels (when attached) can be pivoted to gain the greatest exposure to the sun.
STEP 3: ATTACH THE "L" BRACKETS TO THE SOLAR PANEL
The two "L" brackets should be attached to the solar panel using the '/" bolts, flat washers, lock
washers, and nuts - but only tighten the hardware by hand at this time. Refer to the diagrams
below.
STEP 4: CONNECT WIRING TO THE SOLAR PANELS
1. Remove the electrical access cover on the back of each of the solar panels.
2. Using at least 18-gauge wire (customer-supplied), connect one wire to the 'Y terminal, on the
farthest solar panel from the battery box (this wire becomes the positive lead —suggested color,
red). Then connect another wire to the "-" terminal, on the farthest solar panel from the battery
box (this wire becomes the negative lead — suggested color, black). Both wires should be long
enough to reach the next solar panel in line. These red and black wires, (from the first solar
panel), will then go into the second solar panel electrical access. From the second, there
should be enough length, coming out, to cover the distance down to the battery box. Refer to
j the diagrams below.
3. Replace the solar panel's electrical access covers.

3. Tilt the solar panel so that it will absorb the maximum amount of sunlight at high noon.
4. Fully tighten the 318" hardware used to mount the solar panel to the "U" bracket.
STEP 6: CONNECT THE SOLAR PANEL WIRING TO THE BATTERY BOX
The customer-supplied positive and negative leads, attached to the solar panels in step 4,
should be passed through rain-tight conduit that connects the solar panel's connection box to
the conduit hole in the upper right corner of the right side of the battery box. You will find a red
I
i;
i

positive lead and a black negative lead. Rain-tight conduit and rain-tight conduit fittings should
be used on both the solar panel end and the battery box end of the connection.
At the battery box connect the positive lead from the solar panel (installed in step 4) to the red
positive lead coming from the battery box. Connect the negative lead from the solar panel (also
installed in step 4) to the black negative lead coming from the battery box.
Refer to diagrams below for an illustration of connecting the solar panel wiring to the
scoreboard.
STEP 7: CONNECT THE BATTERY BOX TO THE SCOREBOARD
The scoreboard is wired to the battery box via customer-supplied AC wiring which will run
through rain-tight conduit from the scoreboard to the battery box. This wiring should be a
minimum of 12-gauge and should be in compliance with all applicable electrical codes. Rain-
tight conduit fittings should be used to connect the conduit to both the scoreboard and the

bottom compartment. Position it as far to the left as possible. Connect the RED (POSITIVE) ring
terminals to the "+" positive post on the battery. Connect the BLACK (NEGATIVE) ring
terminals to the "-" negative post on the battery. After the battery has been installed and
connected to the battery box, check to ensure that the ON/OFF power switch on the power
inverter, located in the compartment just above the battery, is turned on. With the battery
connected and the inverter's power switch on, the green power indicator LED on the inverter
should be lit.
