NIGP 91126: C.i.p., Environmental Factors

NIGP 91126 Environmental Factors is an Item code under which state and local governments procure professional consulting services for stormwater management, lakes restoration, environmental compliance, and related water quality and facility environmental projects. Recent solicitations show municipalities and state agencies buying hydraulic and hydrologic modeling, stormwater system design, lake assessment and restoration, watershed planning, environmental abatement and deconstruction, and integrated natural resources management planning for training facilities and public spaces. The scope spans design services, continuing consulting support, and specialized demolition and hazmat remediation work conducted by registered professional engineers, environmental consultants, and abatement contractors who must meet state licensure and certification requirements. Issuing bodies include municipal public works departments (City of Casselberry, Florida; Boulder County, Colorado; DeKalb County, Georgia), state environmental and military affairs agencies (Illinois Department of Military Affairs), and county facilities and infrastructure divisions (Santa Clara County, California). The activity reflects ongoing demand from city and county governments for environmental compliance, stormwater resilience, and facility remediation tied to regulatory mandates and capital improvement programs.

Geographic concentration appears strongest in the Southeast and upper Midwest, with recent opportunities posted from Florida, Georgia, Colorado, California, and Illinois. Representative recent work includes the City of Casselberry's selection of four qualified firms under Florida's Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act for a five-year stormwater and lakes management contract (SOQ-2019-0424, awarded firms include CPH, Inc., Geosyntec Consultants, Inc., Vanasse Hangen Brustlin, Inc., and Wood Environment & Infrastructure Solutions, Inc., with individual project fees capped at $200,000); Boulder County Public Works' RFP for asbestos abatement and deconstruction of the Copper Door facility with proposals due May 28, 2026; the Illinois Department of Military Affairs issuing separate RFQs for INRMP consultants at the Marseilles Training Area (proposals due August 4, 2026) and Sparta Training Area (proposals due July 29, 2026), both requiring compliance with 34 mandatory state certifications; and Santa Clara County's progressive design-build RFP for seismic compliance improvements at RMC with prequalification required by September 16, 2026 and proposals due October 23, 2026.
