Q and A.pdf

1. It is noted in 2.1 Demolition and Disposal that the existing cabinets and concrete foundation should be removed. Item 2.3 Wind Load states an engineered drawing is required for the new sign. We will have to remove the existing structure including concrete and brick to qualify for any structural drawings. Drawings cannot be issued for an existing structure since we do not know have any information on the structure itself, how deep is the foundation etc. All of the above is fine but the last item 7.3 Price

Proposal asks for only pole and plates for existing anchor bolts. This is not possible if we have remove the structure.

a. No demolition is required.
