NIGP 89066: Sewer Lift Stations and Parts

NIGP 89066 Sewer Lift Stations and Parts, an Item code, encompasses the procurement of lift station equipment, components, installation services, rehabilitation work, maintenance, and related parts that state and local governments purchase to construct, upgrade, operate, and service wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure. Recent state and local opportunities show municipalities and counties soliciting bids for new lift station construction (including precast wet wells, submersible pumps, control panels, electrical and SCADA systems), pump and valve replacement, force main piping installation, emergency generators, and comprehensive rehabilitation of existing stations. The issuing bodies include city utilities departments, county boards of commissioners, water authorities, regional wastewater agencies, and special districts across the country. Installation and rehabilitation contracts dominate activity, typically structured as fixed-price or unit-price construction work with design-build or engineer-procure-construct arrangements. Sole-source procurements for proprietary equipment such as specific pump models and aeration systems also appear regularly, particularly when municipalities standardize on a single manufacturer across their systems to simplify maintenance and spare-parts logistics.

Activity is distributed across the Southeast (Florida, Georgia, North Carolina), Texas, Southwest (Arizona, Utah, California), and Upper Midwest (Illinois, Minnesota). Representative recent opportunities include the University of Houston's RFP for lift station and trap maintenance services (proposals due November 9, 2026), the City of Daytona Beach's ITB for lift station replacement with local-vendor preference (bids due October 29, 2026), Seminole County's bid for residential grinder lift station installation in Florida (proposals due September 2, 2026), and the California Department of Parks and Recreation's bid for sewage lift station upgrades at Candlestick Point State Recreation Area with mandatory 6% DVBE participation (bids due November 4, 2026, Engineer's Estimate $2.2 million to $2.9 million). The City of Waco's Speegleville Road Lift Station Improvements contract requires that the general contractor self-perform 40 percent of the work, with an engineering estimate of $1.5 million and a 300-calendar-day performance timeline. Hillsborough County's sole-source procurement for Wet Well Wizard aeration systems covers 60 to 80 units annually over five years at an estimated total contract value of $5.371 million. Smaller maintenance and repair contracts also circulate regularly through town and county purchasing offices, often bundled as open-end, task-authorization arrangements where multiple contractors provide services on an as-needed basis.
