NIGP 90629: Environmental - Architectural

NIGP 90629 Environmental - Architectural, an Item code, encompasses water infrastructure development, site remediation assessment, environmental restoration design, and facility condition evaluation work that state and local governments procure when managing natural resources, public facilities, and disaster recovery. Recent solicitations show county Parks and Open Space departments, cities, water districts, and transit authorities acquiring these services to support agricultural operations, flood mitigation, drainwell replacement, medical examiner facilities, parking structures, and energy-efficiency retrofits tied to federal and state recovery programs.

Boulder County Parks and Open Space is seeking installation of stock water wells on two county-owned agricultural properties under RFP-300-26, with proposals due September 4, 2026 and a non-mandatory pre-proposal meeting on August 17, 2026 via Microsoft Teams; the $350,000 scope includes drilling six wells across two properties, installing solar pumps, electrical equipment, stock tanks, and obtaining all state drilling permits, with work completion required by December 31, 2027. The City of Orlando is procuring design services for flood mitigation through drainwell replacement funded by Orange County Community Development Block Grant Disaster Recovery, under RQS26-0249 with qualifications due June 11, 2026; the project spans 43 months and requires evaluation, design, and relocation of 13 drainage wells in low-to-moderate income areas with conditions assessment, geotechnical investigation, and construction administration. Other representative opportunities include the City of New Haven soliciting architectural services for a Pre-Development and Adaptive Use Assessment of the Edgerton Park Carriage House and Greenhouse under contract funded by Connecticut Community Investment Account (RFP released May 13, 2026, proposals due June 2, 2026, budget $40,000), and Hillsborough County requesting proposals from Florida-licensed architectural firms for Medical Examiner Facility Expansion design services (RPS2600194, proposals due May 1, 2026, estimated construction value $10.5 million with architectural fees approximately $800,000). Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Colorado, Arizona, and California; Colorado, Georgia, and Florida jurisdictions appear most active in recent postings. The code reflects state and local reliance on specialized environmental, architectural, and engineering consultants to navigate permit requirements, site conditions analysis, and compliance with federal disaster recovery regulations, particularly under CDBG-DR, FEMA PA, and state historic preservation standards.
