The installation side of the works can take place after the March deadline but must be completed by 23rd August 2023 at the latest. Design print and installation of new vinyls for 4246 bus stop plates and 1210 shelter cases. The works will include a number of different bus shelter casing types that will need changing - the supplier must print the vinyl to the following size / design and then trim down the vinyl before installation, depending on the type of case that they are working on. The vinyl print dimensions for the bus shelter casings are 1300m x 870mm with a logo size of 423mm x 470mm. Shelter cases to be removed vinyled and reinstalled.
