New Schenley Park Division Facility - Design

The City of Pittsburgh is seeking design services for a new facility to be located on Prospect Drive within Schenley Park, intended to house the Schenley Park Maintenance Division. This project requires a comprehensive civil site design to address critical infrastructure needs including utility installation, accessibility compliance, and stormwater management, all under the unique terrain conditions of the park. The facility is essential to support the division’s broad operational responsibilities, which encompass maintenance of all city parks in the surrounding area, including tree and trail care, signage, litter collection, snow and ice removal, street sweeping, and participation in minor improvement initiatives. The current lack of an adequate on-site facility has hindered the efficiency and effectiveness of maintenance operations, and the new location will provide dedicated space to properly store equipment, coordinate daily tasks, and enhance overall park preservation standards. This initiative represents a long-standing priority for the City to achieve optimal maintenance conditions across its entire park system. The solicitation, numbered 2026-RFP-157, was posted on July 27, 2026, with responses due by September 7, 2026, and is managed by the Public Works Agency under the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The project’s performance location is within Pittsburgh, PA, and all proposals must meet the site-specific engineering and environmental demands of integrating a new facility into a protected park setting. Primary point of contact for inquiries is Felipe Palomo, Project Manager, reachable via phone or email, with Jacob Goldmann as the secondary sourcing specialist. The contract seeks qualified design professionals capable of delivering a functional, sustainable, and code-compliant facility that aligns with the operational scale and geographic scope of the maintenance division’s duties across multiple parklands.
