The Housing Authority of the City of Pittsburgh is seeking a qualified general contractor (and a separate electrical prime) to install a new exterior emergency‑egress stairway, fire‑alarm pull‑station, and intercom unit at the ABK Daycare (Envision Center) to meet code‑required egress and accessibility standards. The work must be performed on an occupied facility, adhere to IBC 2018, and be completed by March 2027. Bids are due October 8, 2026. • Scope includes demolition of existing trees and areaway, construction of a 48‑in. clear-width exterior stair with fire‑rated wall, installation of a compatible Silent Knight pull‑station, and addition of an Aiphone‑compatible intercom unit. • Contractor must provide full‑price performance and payment bonds, comply with HUD Section 3, MBE/WBE goals, and maintain existing building operations during construction. • No plumbing or HVAC work is required; the project focuses on structural concrete/masonry, fire‑alarm integration, and low‑voltage communications.
