The Urban Redevelopment Authority of Pittsburgh (URA) is issuing an RFP to engage one or more on‑call, multidisciplinary engineering and consulting firms to provide a full suite of professional services for the preparation of publicly and privately owned parcels across the city. Services will be delivered on a task‑order basis and may include environmental investigations, site surveys, engineering design, permitting assistance, demolition planning, utility coordination, construction‑management and inspection (CMCI), and related support needed to make sites “shovel‑ready” for future development. Firms will submit rate schedules and fee proposals; the URA may award contracts to multiple firms to ensure breadth of expertise. The RFP includes a pre‑proposal virtual meeting, optional site tours, and a deadline for questions and final proposals.
• Scope includes Phase I/II environmental assessments, asbestos and lead‑paint inspections, brownfield remediation support, geotechnical and utility design, demolition and site‑clearing plans, storm‑water management, permitting, bid document preparation, and construction‑management/inspection.
• Work is performed on an as‑needed, task‑order basis for city‑wide vacant lots, under‑utilized parcels, and properties with existing structures.
• URA seeks rate‑based proposals; firms may propose to cover all services or select specialties.
• Pre‑proposal virtual meeting: September 28 2026 (11 AM EST); site visits available upon request.
• Proposal submission deadline: November 13 2026 (5 PM EST) via IonWave Technology portal.
