Question #1: Since this will be a government project, if we hold a contractor’s license in other states, are there any other licenses that are required by the state of Florida or is it not required since it’s a government contract?

Question #2: What size and type of shingle or shake that is to be used? We might be overlooking it in the documents, but did not see that in there. Is it a shingle or wooden shake?
