Description

Resolution providing for an amended agreement with CSXT Transportation, Inc. for Preliminary Engineering work on the West Carson Street Bridge Project; and providing for the payment of the costs thereof, not to exceed Twenty-Eight Thousand Six Hundred Dollars ($28,600.00), an increase of Twelve Thousand Three Hundred Twenty Dollars ($12,320.00) from the previously executed agreement, reimbursable at 95%.

Summary

The City of Pittsburgh’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructure asked City Council to approve an amendment to its agreement with CSXT Transportation, Inc. for preliminary engineering work related to rehabilitating the West Carson Street Bridge near CSXT railroad facilities. The amendment raises the agreement’s maximum cost to $28,600, an increase of $12,320, with 95% of eligible costs reimbursable. The legislation affects the City, CSXT, and ultimately bridge users by supporting design and planning needed for the rehabilitation project. It matters because it authorizes additional engineering expenditures while limiting the City’s anticipated share through reimbursement. The request was signed by the department director on August 25, 2026.
