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.
