Reconstruct electrical emergency generator

The Department of Transportation Federal Aviation Administration Eastern Region awarded $2.321 million to the Allegheny County Airport Authority (doing business as Pittsburgh International Airport) on August 25, 2026, under the Airport Infrastructure Grants program (CFDA 20.117) to reconstruct two electrical emergency generators that have reached the end of their useful lives. The replacement generators will maintain reliability and efficiency of the airport's power supply and prevent power disruptions to the airfield. The period of performance runs through August 24, 2030, with work performed at Pittsburgh International Airport, Pennsylvania (15231). The Airport Infrastructure Grants program, funded through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, supports airport infrastructure projects including runways, taxiways, safety and sustainability initiatives, and terminal improvements. Grant recipients must maintain an airport layout plan for the duration of the grant agreement, ordinarily 20 years, and retain accounting records for three years after submission of the final expenditure report. Periodic reports documenting project bidding, contract awards, work commencement, and completion are required throughout the grant term.
