Ralph Wright Natatorium Structural Upgrades

Questions should be sent via email to Evan Riddell at evan.riddell@louisville.edu On behalf of the University of Louisville Planning, Design, & Construction (UPDC) will accept bids from qualified contractors for structural upgrades to the Ralph Wright Natatorium. The project includes the addition of structural steel to brace and reinforce the existing steel building columns in the high-bay portion of the Natatorium. Steel tubes are added between columns and steel angles and plates are added to reinforce and brace the columns. New steel shall be connected to the existing structural steel columns and existing cold-formed steel wall and roof girts per the plans and details. The new construction plans/specs are included, and the existing building plans are included for reference. The means and methods of construction are entirely the responsibility of the contractor. Contractors shall exercise caution, as the existing building columns are no longer plumb and may become unstable during construction. Temporary construction bracing shall be utilized as deemed appropriate by the Contractor and their engineer. Work times are critical, as this facility is in operation. Work Start - 12/19/2022 Final Completion -1/7/2023 If any person contemplating the submission of a bid has any doubt as to the true meaning, of any part of the invitation, he/she should contact Evan Riddell at evan.riddell@louisville.edu.
