NIGP 90633: Forensic - Architectural

NIGP 90633 Forensic – Architectural, an Item code, comprises design, assessment, and condition-evaluation services for buildings and structures damaged by disasters, floods, or other events requiring engineering investigation and remediation planning. State and local governments procure this work primarily through RFQs and RFPs issued by city planning and public works departments, counties, and special-purpose authorities responding to disaster recovery funding or capital improvement needs. Work scope centers on conditions assessment with utility surveys and geotechnical investigation, conceptual and detailed design through construction documents, cost estimation, construction administration and inspection, and post-construction documentation—typically executed by Florida-registered or state-licensed architectural and engineering firms under federal compliance frameworks such as CDBG-DR or FEMA PA programs.

Recent activity concentrates in Florida and Georgia. The City of Orlando issued two RFQs for flood mitigation design services in June 2026: RQS26-0249 for drainwell replacement and relocation across low-to-moderate income areas (due June 11, 2026, estimated 43-month engagement) and RQS26-0380 for Southeast Lakes Basin flood mitigation projects (due June 23, 2026, with Addendum #2 Revision posted June 10). Both require Florida professional engineering registration and are funded through CDBG-DR or Florida Division of Emergency Management grants. In Georgia, the City of Nicholls issued RFQ PE66297NONST2026000000013 on May 6, 2026, for architectural and engineering services to replace the damaged Nicholls Gymnasium under FEMA PA Program guidelines (responses due June 10, 2026, evaluated on Experience, References, and Staff at 30/30/40 points, with $2,000,000 minimum professional liability insurance required). The City of Union City, Georgia, solicited plan review and inspection services under RFP-CD-26-01 (due June 10, 2026) to verify compliance with building codes across construction projects. Hillsborough County, Florida, posted RPS 26-00194 on April 10 for architectural consulting services on a Medical Examiner Facility Expansion estimated at $800,000 against a $10.5 million construction value (due May 1, 2026, with 10% Small Business Enterprise participation goal and selection targeting August 2026).
