CITY HALL DWV PLUMBING REPAIRS AND REHABILITATION
1. PROJECT OVERVIEW
The City of Louisville is seeking proposals from qualified plumbing contractors to perform repairs, rehabilitation, cleaning, inspection, and improvements to portions of the existing Drain, Waste, and Vent (DWV) system at Louisville City Hall.
Preliminary investigations identified deficiencies within the existing cast iron building drainage and vent systems, exterior building sewer, restroom fixture connections, and cleanout access.
Identified conditions include improper drainage pitch, significant internal scaling and deterioration, obstructed vent piping, damaged and offset exterior sewer piping, inadequate maintenance access, and deficient toilet and closet flange connections.
The intent of this project is to restore affected plumbing systems to reliable operating condition, improve drainage performance, extend the useful life of existing infrastructure where practical, improve future maintenance access, and reduce the potential for future stoppages, backups, leaks, and system failures.
Timing is a critical component of this project. Contractors shall prepare their proposals and construction schedules based on work occurring six (6) days per week between the hours of 6:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m., with the goal of minimizing the overall duration of disruption to City Hall operations.
City Hall may remain open to City employees and the public during construction. Maintaining a safe, clean, organized, professional, and presentable work environment throughout the project is a critical requirement of the Contract.
The Contractor shall provide all labor, supervision, materials, equipment, tools, permits, inspections, demolition, excavation, temporary protection, cleaning, rehabilitation, testing, documentation, and incidental work necessary to provide a complete and operational plumbing system.
In addition to the plumbing repairs, the Contractor shall provide a separate Not-to-Exceed (NTE) price to rebuild and restore areas directly affected by the plumbing work. This restoration work is limited to damage or demolition necessary to complete the plumbing project and is not intended to constitute a general City Hall flooring, painting, or modernization project.
2. EXISTING CONDITIONS AND FIELD VERIFICATION
The Contractor shall review the available investigation information and verify existing conditions prior to commencing construction.
The preliminary DWV investigation was conducted in November 2025 and includes CCTV observations and Exhibit A documenting portions of the existing system.
The Contractor shall field verify, at a minimum:
• Pipe locations.
• Pipe sizes and materials.
• Existing fittings.
• Direction of flow.
• Existing pipe elevations and slopes.
• Existing cleanout locations.
• Fixture connections.
• Vent piping locations.
• Branch connections.
• Exterior building sewer routing.
• Required excavation areas.
• Required concrete removal.
• Wall, ceiling, roof, and floor access requirements.
• Conditions affecting CIPP installation.
• Conditions affecting epoxy coating.
• Potential conflicts with structural components, utilities, or other building systems.
Plans, videos, inspection reports, photographs, and other information provided by the City are intended to assist bidders and shall not relieve the Contractor of responsibility for field verification.
Any significant discrepancy between documented conditions and actual field conditions shall be brought to the City's attention prior to…
