A.2: We do not want any internal or external lighting on the main lower sign.

Q.3: Will we need to provide a computer to communicate with the electronic message center?

A.3: Our I.T Specialist, on site, said that we will supply the computer for the message center.

We would need to know what the communication specifications are needed for that.

Q.4: What matrix do you want for the LEDs in the

EMC? With the viewing distance I would recommend

16MM. 20MM units have been pretty much phased out.

A.4: We will want to go with 16MM matrix in the message center. Something that will last and be easily accessible if any replacement/repairs are need.

Q.5: Do you want the letters on the EMC to have a maximum of 12" tall?

A.5: We want the lettering to be 12" tall, plus or minus ¼".

Q.6: The EMC is self-dimming to adjust to ambient light, do you want to add a time clock to turn it off at same time during the night?

A.6: As long as the EMC is self-dimming at night.

We will not need the sign to be turned off and anytime during the night.

Q.7: The sign structure is sound; do you want to use the existing structure and replace the faces?

A.7: We would like to just replace the sign face given that will be the most cost-efficient way.

One thing that mentioned was in the SOW it does call for brick pillars up each side. I don't know if this will affect just the refacing the sign or not.

Q.8: There is a conduit exposed next to the sign, we are going to check to see if it runs to the panel in the building which would be best, please update if panel space is available, otherwise we will assume we are pulling power from the closest light pole.

A.8: The Conduit that is coming up through the concrete located on the north side of the sign runs from the sign to the light pole in the parking lot. There is 120v going to the light pole in the parking lot and we have located the breaker for that inside the main building breaker box.

All terms and conditions remain unchanged.
