PITTSBURGH FACILITY 079 MEP PARKING LOT EROSION CONTROL

Background
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), Philadelphia District, is conducting market research to determine the availability and capability of firms to provide all labor, materials, and equipment for the design-build construction of a Military Equipment Parking (MEP) Area Erosion Control project at Facility 079 in Pittsburgh.

This initiative aims to enhance the facility's infrastructure and ensure effective stormwater management. The anticipated award date for this project is in calendar year 2027, with a focus on engaging small businesses, including those that are Section 8(a), HUBZone, SDVOSB, or WOSB/EDWOSB.

Work Details
The general scope of work includes:
- Clearing existing vegetation and performing necessary cut and fill activities to prepare subgrade for Mechanically Stabilized Earth (MSE) wall construction;
- Removing portions of the existing fence at two light pole bump-outs where subgrade soils have eroded;
- Constructing a wire basket MSE wall utilizing lightweight fill material and geosynthetic reinforcement;
- Reconstructing the fence upon completion of MSE wall construction;
- Excavating to expose the north face of two existing catch basin structures along the northern limit of the MEP lot;
- Cutting and capping existing storm drainage pipes exiting the catch basins and abandoning old pipe runs in place;
- Excavating to install two new drainage pipe runs from existing catch basins down-slope to new concrete outfall structures;
- Installing a raised asphalt curb atop the existing MEP lot adjacent to an existing concrete curb to intercept overland stormwater flow.

Place of Performance
7100 Leech Farm Rd, Pittsburgh, PA 15206.
