6.1 Status of plaquing
Discussion regarding:
• What is the maximum amount of verbiage permitted on the plaque face?
• Is there an additional charge for increased text or layout changes, and if so, what would the cost be?
• Are color combinations customizable, including both lettering and background/face colors?
• Can the polyurethane plaque be finished in customizable colors that mimic stainless steel, bronze, and white?
• Could you please provide a quote for including a QR code, either directly on the plaque or laser-engraved on a separate metal plate to be installed adjacent to the plaque, that would direct visitors to historical information about the landmarked building? We would like to explore this as an optional enhancement.
