# Pittsburgh City Council Regular Meeting - 10/13/26

Pittsburgh City Council’s regular meeting on October 13, 2026, included several procurement and infrastructure actions. Council approved a supplemental agreement with KCI Technologies for the 28th Street Bridge final-design phase, raising the agreement by approximately $625,728 to a stated total not to exceed $2,320,581.14, with 95% reimbursement. It also approved up to $135,666.99 over three years for First Due scheduling software for Emergency Medical Services and up to $5,949,919.20 for city winter-maintenance services on designated state routes under an agreement with PennDOT. A $273,300 donation from Community Family Advocates to support co-response and downtown policing programs was also approved. Hillrest Street residents raised concerns about delays to a paving project, saying the funding was secured; the meeting did not announce a new paving action.

Council considered legislation to authorize additional open-end professional-services agreements for city departments: 48 additional agreements, bringing the stated total to 179, with annual per-agreement caps of up to $1.5 million or $750,000 and three-year terms; amendments were approved, though the transcript does not clearly establish the final disposition of both measures. Other procurement-related items included proposed requirements for council approval of certain contracts made through cooperative purchasing, and authorization to seek grants for a zoning-code overhaul (up to $150,000) and a pumper fire truck ($1 million). Public comment also focused on the closure of the North Side Roots site and its effects on access to services; no related procurement decision was identified.
