NIGP 72045: Piston Pumps and Parts

NIGP 72045 Piston Pumps and Parts, an Item code, covers on-call repair, rebuild, and replacement services for electric motors and pumps at municipal water and wastewater treatment facilities, as well as the supply of replacement pump components and parts for specialized equipment such as hose pumps used in water reclamation operations. State and local water districts, county departments of watershed management, and municipal water authorities are the primary issuing bodies soliciting under this code. Work includes emergency and routine motor and pump repairs ranging from 1.5 to 800 horsepower, installation of permanent bypass pumps at lift stations, supply of replacement parts for equipment such as Watson-Marlow Bredel pumps, comprehensive on-site diagnostics with vibration analysis and post-installation performance testing, and delivery and logistics support across multiple treatment facilities. Contractors typically must demonstrate five or more years of specialized experience, maintain valid state contractor licensing (such as Georgia Utility Contractor or California Public Works registration), carry substantial commercial general and professional liability insurance, and provide local repair capacity or registered supplier status.
