Over the next five years, PWSA has budgeted approximately $1.8 billion to be put towards critical capital improvement projects and infrastructure upgrades. To help us deliver on these critical investments, we often complement our own in-house engineering expertise by partnering with private engineering firms.

Every few years, we solicit firms for what we call on-call engineering services. In use, this is a pool of qualified professional and technical engineering firms capable of completing various capital improvement projects on an “as needed” basis. This streamlined practice reduces the time it takes to procure essential services to complete work in our communities, all while further building our network of expertise.

It also provides an opportunity for small and diverse businesses to gain experience working on government contracts, thereby growing their capacity in that space.

Qualified engineering firms interested in partnering with PWSA on this kind of work are invited to join us on Wednesday, November 15 for an informational session. In addition to learning more about the procurement process, those in attendance will hear from a panel of consultants who’ve worked with PWSA in this capacity. PWSA’s next on-call engineering services contract will be released for bid in 2024.

MWDBE firms and those that fall under our Supplier Diversity Program are especially encouraged to attend and will be given priority registration.

Learn more and register on our Events & Meetings website. We hope to see many like-minded firms at Schenley Skating Rink this November!
