Property Maintenance Land Care Program

The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh is seeking proposals from property maintenance firms to manage all-season upkeep of a large portfolio of approximately 1,400 publicly held vacant properties across the city. These properties are organized into various bundles based on size and geographic location, with the potential for adjustments throughout the contract period to reflect ownership changes, including properties owned by the Pittsburgh Land Bank. The contract is initially set for 24 months, with options for extensions in one-year increments, and the total contract value is estimated to range between $500,000 and $2,000,000. The selected firm will be responsible for maintaining properties in designated clusters, ensuring they remain secure, safe, and visually maintained, which is critical for urban revitalization efforts. The proposal process is open, with a deadline of August 19, 2025, and interested vendors can review detailed property listings and submission requirements online. The contract is part of the URA’s broader efforts to improve urban blight and stabilize neighborhoods through strategic property management. The procurement process emphasizes competitive bidding, compliance with local regulations, and flexibility to adapt to inventory changes over the contract term. The initiative aligns with the city’s goals of fostering sustainable urban development and leveraging partnerships with private firms to efficiently manage vacant land and buildings. The contract’s success will depend on the vendor’s ability to deliver consistent maintenance services across diverse property types and locations, supporting the URA’s mission to promote community renewal and economic growth within Pittsburgh.
