•    Facility identity signage (quantity of 25 signs to upgrade)
•    Pedestrian directional signage (quantity of 35 signs to upgrade)
- Material specifications for exterior signage
1. Fabrication
•    Shop assembly: pre-assemble items in shop to the greatest extent possible to minimize field splicing and assembly. 
•    Disassemble units only as necessary for shipping and handling limitations. 
•    Clearly mark units for re-assembly and coordinated installation. 
•    Welding: all welding procedures shall conform to applicable AWS specifications. 
•    All welds shall develop the capacity of members being joined unless specific length or extent
•    The type of alloy filler metal and electrodes to be that which is recommended by producer of the metal to be welded, and as required for color match, strength and compatibility in the fabricated items. 
•    Flatness of panels: panels shall show no visual distortion when viewed in installed position. 
•    All panel faces shall be of such flatness that when measured, the maximum slope of the surface at point, measured from the nominal plane of the surface, shall not exceed 1.0%. 
•    Any panel not meeting these requirements is subject to rejection by agency. 
•    Wind loading: exterior signs shall be designed to withstand wind pressure loadings of 30 PSF (146.5 kg/sq. m) on the gross area of the exposed units, acting in all directions or to meet and exceed all applicable codes, whichever is greater. 
•    The selected signage contractor will be required to have structural elements of exterior signs stamped by an engineer. 
•    standard and approved methods of fabrication will be required by the owner. 
•    Thermal movement: design, fabricate and install component parts to provide for expansion and contraction over a temperature range for the material of 150 degrees Fahrenheit, without buckling, sealant joint failure, glass breakage, undue stress on members or anchors, and other detrimental effects.
•    Corrosion protection: coat concealed metal surfaces which will be in direct contact with concrete, masonry, wood or dissimilar metals, in exterior work, and work to be built into exterior and below grade walls and decks with a heavy coat of bituminous paint. 
•    Do not extend coating onto exposed surfaces.
•    Other: holes for bolts and screws shall be drilled. 
•    Parts to receive hardware shall be countersunk. 
•    Fasteners shall be of basic metal and alloy, matching finished color and texture as the metal being fastened, unless otherwise indicated. 
•    There shall be no exposed fasteners; all fasteners shall be concealed. 
•    Exposed ends and edges shall be milled smooth, with corners slightly rounded. 
•    Joints exposed to weather shall be formed to exclude water.
2. Installation
•    Preparation: coordinate setting drawings, diagrams, templates, instructions and directions for the installation of items having integral anchors which are to be embedded in concrete or masonry construction. 
•    Coordinate delivery of such items to applicable trades for installation. 
•    Delivery to premise: unless indicated to the contrary, items of loose material shall be delivered, uncrated, assembled, set in proper place and installed ready for use, free from breakage, blemishes or other defects. 
•    Inspection: examine the substrate and the conditions under which the materials are to be installed. 
•    Do not proceed with the work until unsatisfactory conditions detrimental to the timely and proper completion of the work have been corrected. 
•    Anchors and inserts: furnish inserts and anchoring devices that must be set in concrete or built into masonry for installation of this work. 
•    Provide setting drawings, templates, instructions and directions for installation of anchorage devices. 
•    Provide toothed steel or lead shield expansion bolt devices for drilled-in-place anchors and inserts for exterior installation. 
•    Provide units with exposed surfaces matching the texture and finish of metal item anchored.
•    Cutting, fitting and placement: perform all cutting, drilling and fitting required for installation. 
•    Set the work accurately in location, alignment and elevation, plumb, level and true, measured from established lines and levels. 
•    Provide temporary bracing or anchors as required.
•    Erection: all surfaces shall be covered with protective cover non-deleterious to finish for protection until final installation or erection. 
•    Complete all connections in proper alignment an tighten bolts securely. 
•    Leveling is to be done only by instruments; measuring equal distances from existing building surfaces will not be acceptable as a basis of level and plumb. 
•    After erection, all surfaces marred during erection and exposed bolts, bolt heads, etc., shall be retouched with the same paint used previously. 
•    Electrical: all electrical lighting and power devices contained within or upon signage devices which are usually included as part of the illumination system of that device such as lamps, sockets, internal wiring, etc. 
•    The signage contractor is responsible for electrical connection only of signage items. 
•    Power distribution to required locations shall be the responsibility of agency unless otherwise specifically noted in this scope of work.
•    Protective coverings: restore protective coverings that have been damaged during shipment or installation of the work. 
•    Remove protection when requested for inspection of finishes and replace. 
•    Retain protective coverings intact and remove simultaneously from similar finished items to preclude non-uniform oxidation and discoloration. 
•    Remove protective coverings only when there is no possibility of damage from other work yet to be performed at the same location. 
•    Cleaning of premises: the signage contractor shall use special care in the disposition of excess materials and rubbish. 
•    Rubbish shall not be allowed to accumulate but shall be consistently collected and removed at the completion of this work, on a daily basis.
