2023 Large Diameter Sewer Rehabilitation

Pittsburgh Water and Sewer Authority is seeking bids for a large-scale sewer rehabilitation project involving approximately 268 feet of large diameter concrete and stone arched sewer lines, with diameters ranging from 92 inches by 60 inches to 120 inches by 120 inches. The work also includes spot repairs of about 400 feet of 120-inch arched stone sewer, located in the Sheradan and Esplen neighborhoods, extending from southwest of the Port Authority West Busway to the Ohio River. The project emphasizes the use of spray-applied lining techniques for rehabilitation and is expected to be funded through PENNVEST, with additional federal EPA financial assistance, which mandates strict compliance with federal Executive Orders and EPA regulations, particularly concerning the solicitation and inclusion of Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). Contractors must demonstrate good faith efforts to solicit DBEs across all procurement categories, including construction, equipment, services, and supplies, ensuring the participation of minority, women-owned, and small businesses. The solicitation was posted on May 8, 2025, with a response deadline of June 9, 2025. The project’s estimated value ranges from one million to five million dollars, and it falls under NAICS code 221320. As a federally funded initiative, the project requires adherence to specific regulatory and outreach requirements to promote equitable participation of diverse business enterprises.
