Clayton Street is inside the Downtown Historic District. Any new exterior sign requires a Certificate of Appropriateness and city sign permit before install. Average lead time is 4 to 6 weeks.

ElectricalELE-CIR

Dedicated 20A circuit for halo lighting

Halo-lit channel logo and awning uplights will need a dedicated circuit pulled from the panel. Customer did not mention this. Most older Clayton Street buildings only have a single sign circuit shared with the previous tenant.

DemolitionDEM-OLD

Removal and disposal of existing tenant signage

Customer noted the old plastic sign needs to come down but did not price it. Includes safe removal, anchor patching at the brick face, and haul-off. Recommend doing this on the install day to avoid two trips.

Drafted follow-up to customer

Hi Sarah, thank you for sending this over. Before we put a number in front of you we wanted to call out a few items downtown jobs almost always need, the historic district sign permit, a dedicated 20 amp circuit for the halo lighting, and a clean removal of the previous tenant's sign. With those included we are sitting at the upper end of your range and the lighting will look right at night. Happy to walk through it with you.
