NIGP 91164: C.i.p., Utilities

NIGP 91164 C.I.P., Utilities is an Item code under which state and local governments procure design, engineering, permitting, and construction services for water reclamation facilities, wastewater collection and treatment infrastructure, stormwater systems, utility billing and rate optimization, and energy generation and efficiency improvements at public utilities. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies purchasing pump station rehabilitation and replacement, gravity and force main installation, septic-to-sewer conversions, wastewater treatment plant upgrades, utility rate studies, customer information systems, and energy optimization consulting. Jurisdictions soliciting under this code include county utilities departments, municipal water and wastewater agencies, special-purpose water districts, and cities managing integrated utility systems. Issuing bodies span Florida counties and municipalities (Hillsborough County, Orange County, City of DeLand, City of North Miami Beach, Seminole County), Texas cities (College Station, Rio Rancho, Temple), California water districts (Eastern Municipal Water District), Oregon municipalities (City of St. Helens), Georgia localities (City of Augusta, Gwinnett County, DeKalb County), and academic institutions (Texas State University). The work mix reflects aging infrastructure replacement, regulatory compliance (stormwater TMDL and BMAP standards, floodproofing for climate resilience), and modernization (SCADA integration, AI-enabled dashboards, advanced metering).
