NIGP 90680: Sewage Collection, Treatment, and Disposal - Architectural

NIGP 90680 Sewage Collection, Treatment, and Disposal—Architectural, an Item code, encompasses architectural and engineering design services for wastewater infrastructure hardening, treatment facility improvements, and collection system rehabilitation solicited by municipal utilities, regional water authorities, and airport operators. State and local governments buy design work across CSO facility upgrades, lift station rehabilitation, water reclamation facility flood hardening, drainage improvement projects, and related site improvements—work that typically includes feasibility studies, master planning, structural and mechanical design, permitting coordination, construction administration, and asset management documentation to support bid-ready construction documents.

Activity under this code concentrates in Florida, Georgia, New Mexico, and Texas, with recent solicitations posted from municipal utilities (Great Lakes Water Authority in Michigan, New Smyrna Beach Utilities in Florida, City of Daytona Beach), cities (Santa Fe Regional Airport in New Mexico, City of College Park in Georgia, City of Union City in Georgia), counties (Collier County in Florida, Cameron County in Texas), and special-purpose districts (Lower Colorado River Authority in Texas). The Great Lakes Water Authority's RFQ for study, design, and construction assistance at three CSO facilities (St. Aubin, Belle Isle, Baby Creek) in the Detroit area, due July 7, 2026, exemplifies the scope: twelve design and construction-administration tasks over 1,390 days with required compliance to BIM standards, diversity certifications (DBE, MBE, WBE, SBE), and $1 million to $4 million insurance thresholds. The City of Daytona Beach's progressive design-build RFQ 2632 for Water Reclamation Facilities hardening at Bethune Point and Westside Regional WRF, due May 14, 2026, estimates approximately $90 million total cost with electrical system replacement, pump station installation, sludge dewatering facilities, force main replacement, and UV disinfection upgrades across two separate contracts to maintain regulatory delineation. The City of Pembroke Pines' IFB for Lift Station #64 rehabilitation, due September 23, 2025, budgeted at $560,000, and the City of Santa Fe's RFP for airport terminal expansion A/E services, due December 17, 2025, represent smaller municipal infrastructure initiatives. Qualification-based selection predominates; cost proposals are typically unbundled by phase or service line and scored secondarily to technical capacity, experience, and key-personnel qualifications.
