Hiya, Ron --
Your present concrete base is FB and you don't need a steel frame. Just
drill into the concrete where you need to and then epoxy the anchor rods in.
Your local rental yard should have everything you need. A concrete bit will
drill you a hole in a minute or two and the epoxy is stronger than the
concrete so you'll be good to go! Contractors do this kind of thing everyday.
