NIGP 91103: C.i.p., Archeological/Environment Surveys

NIGP 91103 C.i.p., Archeological/Environment Surveys, an Item code, encompasses environmental and archaeological assessment services that state and local governments procure to evaluate site conditions, historical significance, and environmental impacts for infrastructure projects, remediation initiatives, and property redevelopment. Recent solicitations show demand for Phase III site investigations with remedial action planning, archaeological assessments tied to National Register of Historic Places evaluations, environmental consulting on transit and infrastructure corridors, and pre-design environmental and survey work supporting capital improvement programs. Issuing bodies span state university systems (Texas A&M University), county departments of transportation and public works agencies (Broward County Transportation Department, Ventura County Public Works Agency), cities (Dunwoody, Georgia; New Haven, Connecticut), counties (Williamson County, Texas; DeKalb County, Georgia), and special-purpose water and sewer authorities (Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority). A pattern of on-call and pre-qualified pool contracts appears across multiple jurisdictions, allowing governments to draw environmental and planning consultants as individual projects and Task Orders arise rather than through single project-specific procurements.

Recent activity spans Arizona, Georgia, Texas, Connecticut, South Carolina, and Florida. Representative opportunities include Texas A&M University's ITB for archaeological site assessment, National Register of Historic Places evaluation, and management planning at Fort Huachuca, Arizona, due June 16, 2026; the City of New Haven's RFP for Phase III site investigation and final Remedial Action Plan preparation at the former Gibbs Street cement plant, due January 27, 2026 (responses already past); Broward County Transportation Department's RFP for up to three consulting firms to support its 76-mile Bus Rapid Transit Program through planning, environmental analysis, and design, with proposals due July 17, 2026 and an estimated $30 million budget for the initial five-year term; Ventura County Public Works Agency's RFQ for on-call environmental and engineering consultants across 32 disciplines, with qualifications due April 17, 2026; and Williamson County's RFQ for a Planner, Landscape Architecture, Architecture & Engineer (PLAE) pool, due April 17, 2026. Work is typically assigned through Task Orders or individual Work Authorizations with phase-specific deliverables; professional liability insurance requirements of $1 million to $2 million per claim are standard, and many solicitations require FDOT prequalification, Florida Professional Engineer licensure, or Texas professional licensing credentials.
