Q5. Is there an existing footer that will need to be removed that the base of the sign currently sits on?

A5. Yes, There is an footer. The old sign will need to be removed and dispose of.

Q6. The Cabinet that the existing message board is on most likely not going to be able to handle the additional weight of the new digital board. Is that part of this scope as well?

Q9. Carlos, do you have the type and color of the existing brick if we are to match the other brickwork in the area?

A9. The style bricks that were used for the wall are no longer being made. We recently had a repair done to part of the wall and the vendor had some old bricks from another project that he was able to match up. We recommend the bidder coming by for a site visit so they can match the bricks as well as possible.
