# USACE Advances East St. Louis Pump Station Upgrades

The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) St. Louis District and the City of East St. Louis plan to sign a Project Partnership Agreement on October 8, 2026, for improvements to the 63rd Street Pump Station through the Environmental Infrastructure Section 219 Program. The work is planned to include a permanent bypass system, in-line grinders, pump replacements and upgrades, and related valve and pipe work. No project value, solicitation, or contractor has been announced, so this is a project milestone rather than an open contract opportunity.

- The agreement signing is scheduled for **October 8, 2026**. Construction and equipment firms can use the identified scope to assess potential future fit, but the signal provides no solicitation or proposal deadline.
