NIGP 76521: Culvert Cleaning Equipment

NIGP 76521 Culvert Cleaning Equipment is an Item code that describes equipment and services for removing debris, sediment, and obstructions from culverts to maintain proper water flow and structural integrity. In practice, state and local governments soliciting under this code are buying culvert replacement and installation work rather than equipment alone—the recent opportunities show counties and cities contracting for full demolition, removal, and replacement of corrugated metal pipe crossings, installation of new culvert infrastructure, and associated drainage improvements. Issuing bodies include county commissioners' courts and city public works departments. Upson County Board of Commissioners and Williamson County Commissioners' Court appear as repeat buyers in the recent activity.

Recent opportunities span Georgia and Texas. Upson County (Georgia) posted an IFB on September 11, 2026 for emergency culvert replacement on Rocky Bottom Road, seeking demolition and replacement of approximately 120 linear feet of corrugated metal pipe (84-inch and 72-inch diameter) with bids due October 6, 2026 at 10:00 AM and a mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit on September 22, 2026. Williamson County (Texas) solicited cross culvert replacements countywide under IFB 26IFB54 with a response deadline of July 7, 2026. The City of Brownsville (Texas) in Cameron County posted an IFB on June 6, 2026 for the Abilene Trail Storm Sewer Improvements Project, including installation of a new culvert crossing and associated drainage infrastructure, with bids due July 14, 2026. Santa Clara County (California) issued an ITB in April 2026 for the Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation Project that included removal and replacement of pavement and related infrastructure, though culvert work was not the primary scope. Activity concentrates in Texas and Georgia with emerging work in California.
