Any contractor or subcontractor obtaining a permit must be identified with IPL. The identification or licensing process requires that the contractors provide proof of workman’s compensation, liability and unemployment insurance as required by Kentucky Revised Statutes. (An affidavit may be accepted for workman’s compensation if the contractor has no employees.) All insurance coverage must remain in effect while the permit(s) are active.
IPL has an identification or license for each permit type with the exception of the parking lot/landscaping and electrical permits. The general/building contractor can obtain parking lot/landscaping permits with their identification license. Proof of holding a State License must be shown to obtain electrical permits.
Each identified/licensed contractor must sign an unemployment affidavit certifying that they meet their unemployment insurance requirements, provide an account number from the Louisville and Jefferson County Revenue Commission and provide certificates of insurance and bonds according to the following table:
