The University of Louisville is seeking a general contractor to renovate the first floor of the former Kosair Charities Pediatric Center for University Pediatrics divisions. - Government buyer: University of Louisville Procurement Services, on behalf of University Planning, Design, and Construction (UPDC). - Requested work: Provide labor, equipment, and materials for the interior renovation, converting former clinic and office space into workplace space. Detailed scope is in the contract plans and specifications; no quantities or part numbers are provided. - Scope details: Coordinate installation of owner-furnished equipment. Additive alternates cover doors and roller shades. Project documents include a hazardous-materials report and a pre-renovation HVAC test-and-balance report. - Notable requirements: The sample contract calls for substantial completion in spring 2027 and final completion in mid-May 2027, with liquidated damages of $1,500 per calendar day for applicable delays. The contractor must provide a detailed project schedule shortly after contract execution. University construction requirements include hot-work permits, fire-watch, and protective measures. - Named firms: Champlin Studios Architects and KLH Engineers prepared referenced technical documents. Thermal Balance Inc. performed the existing HVAC pretest survey; that report is background information, not a requested new service. No product OEMs or manufacturer-specific products are identified.
