Follow this
procedure to order
facility signs:
Step 1: Complete a GE facility sign survey.*
Conducted by an authorized consultant familiar
with the GE sign standards, the sign survey
provides you with an objective evaluation of your
sign needs and gives you the opportunity
to eliminate unnecessary or redundant signs.
In addition, to maintain good visibility, the
survey advises on the optimum size, location,
and facing of all identification signs. It can also
help you determine whether any existing sign
structures can be retrofitted with new sign faces.
The GE facility sign survey is available for any
GE facility or location in the continental United
States for a fixed fee (inclusive of time, travel,
and out-of-pocket expenses) and includes
•meeting with appropriate personnel on site to
review the GE sign system and its adaptation to
the location/facility
• photographs of current signs and traffic
approaches, with two sets of photographs submitted
with the sign survey recommendation
•preliminary review of all local codes regarding
sign height, size, and setback requirements;
all recommendations based on these restrictions
•a recommendation for primary and secondary
identity signs, with the survey photographs and
a preliminary site plan showing sign locations
• cost estimate for the sign conversion with a list
of approved sign manufacturers who can bid
on the project
•follow-up with the sign manufacturer to confirm
the understanding of the design package and
specifications (following the contract award,
which is the sole responsibility of the GE component
or affiliate)
