 Inquiry: Sheet E1 Detail A shows the CCTV mounted on top of the sign structure. The Camera Mounting DFetail on sheet E-3 shows the camera mounted on a pole. The specials call out for sign illumination. Nowhere do you reference on the plans on how you want this done. The standard plans show a mast arm for illuminating the sign but there is no way to mount the camera and if you mount the camera some how on top of the pole the mast arm will disrupt the viewing area. What do you want done and how?
