Scope
The Millvale LPP was constructed by U.S.
Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) in 1980 under the authority of Section 205 of the Flood Control Act of 1948 as amended.
The project consists of about 6,200 feet of channel improvement including concrete gravity retaining walls, concrete wall supports, anchored concrete toe blocks, concrete cap walls, stone-filled gabion mattresses, flap gates and access ramps.
The LPP is an urban Flood Control Work (FCW), and it is not a multipurpose project.
Heavy rains from 1-12 April 2024 caused flooding which damaged the Project within Girtys Run, including bank erosion, shoaling, erosion of the improved channel, ruptured gabion baskets, washed-out concrete buttresses, and erosion of grouted riprap.
Of particular concern are the washed-out buttresses which have migrated to the center of the improved channel, impeding streamflow.
If the buttresses are not removed and stream bank improvements continue to deteriorate, there is a risk that debris will continue to accumulate and could ultimately damage the channel downstream of the impediment.
To address these damages, Allegheny County requested rehabilitation assistance from USACE through the PL 84-99 program, which authorizes USACE to rehabilitate eligible Federal and non-Federal LPPs damaged or destroyed by floods.
An agreement was signed on 6 August 2025 between the Borough of Millvale and USACE to complete the necessary repairs.
The work is to be completed within 365 calendar days after written Notice to Proceed (NTP).
The Anticipated Construction Cost is between $300,000.00 and $350,000.00.
The North American Industrial Classification Code (NAICS) is 237990 - Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction.
The Small Business Size Standard is $45,000,000.00.

How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
