Project Location: 615 City Park Avenue, New Orleans, LA 70119 
Latitude: 29.987319, Longitude: -90.10682 
Projeet Description: Heavy rains and high winds from Hurricane Katrina (DR-I 603) caused significant damage 

to the Kirsch-Rooney Stadium Sports Lighting System ofDelgado Community College. This pw reimburses the eligible 
applicant for the replacement ofthe destroyed sports lighting system. To provide for a replacement to the damaged lighting 
system it is necessary to install 8 -60' high mast steel replacement poles, completed, including direct embedment to 15 feet, 
excavation and backfill, 75' steel pole (60' above ground), each with ladder with cage, work platfonn, bank of8 metal halide 
luminaires with 10000 w lamps, 480v, remote ballasts, wiring circuitry, grounding, and panels. Hazard mitigation will be 
achieved through a proposal to provide a better foundation for the nigh mast poles. Pre Katrina construction was direct 
embedment. This HMP proposes to provide a more stable concrete foundation. All work will be perfonned in a previously 
disturbed area with no indication of nearby waterways or other bodies ofwater.
