Questions & Answers

Question 1) On Sample #1 (Old Style XC Headstone) The pdf file of (Old Style XC Headstone) has a large number at the top in the shield but I'm not sure what that number indicates. The sample request does not have a number, however the Statement of Work says no Section numbers sandblasted, only written on the bottom of headstone. So we did not put any large number on the sample. Is that ok or do we need to add one?

Answer 1: We do not understand what your referring to in reference to XC Sample? As noted on the attachment A, you are to inscribe only what is presented in column F. There will be no section/row/grave # inscribed on any of the headstones as noted on attachment A. The section/row/grave # is presented as a tracking system and should be written in black ink on the bottom of the headstone to identify it’s location within the cemetery.

Question 2) Sample #3 (Type 5.2 Headstone) is for JOHN BROWN 7TH Do we keep 7TH the same size (3cm) as the name as shown on the Excel Spread sheet. No where does it say to reduce the size of the font to next size down in the Statement of Work or on the pdf file of the Type 5.2 Headstone.

Answer 2: Please mirror what is presented on the spreadsheet and on the drawings for each headstone type.

PLEASE REVIEW ALL DRAWINGS AND THE STATEMENT OF WORK FOR THE CORRECT PLACEMENT AND NUMBER OF LETTERING FOR ALL HEADSTONES AND SAMPLES.
