Need Some Help On ADA Bathrooms Signs

I have a request for some ADA signage from a very good client of ours. ADA is not something we're capable of handling in house. Taking their request I was able to create a mock-up in 3D software, and they thought it was excellent. Now I just don't know how to produce it. Our typical vendor hasn't been real responsive, and tried changing the specs to a degree that had the signs looking totally different.

Is there a way to have these produced as they are imaged? Anyone want to bid if they have the capability? Looking for a quote for 3 pair (there would be a corresponding women sign), and 20 pair.

Thank you for the help in advance!!

The background color is not contrasting enough to pass ADA requirements.

I don't think the typeface is ADA compliant either. I will raise these concerns with the client, but they may just proceed regardless...

You are correct. Most bold stroked letterstyles are no longer compliant.
Stroke width must be 15% or less of the letter height based on a capital "I".
Also, letter spacing must be a minimum of 1/8-inch.

This following site shows the changes made in the 2010 standards. Sign information begins on page 26.
