NIGP 91164: C.i.p., Utilities

NIGP 91164 C.I.P., Utilities, an Item code, covers state and local government procurement of utilities infrastructure repair, replacement, and design services—specifically wastewater and water system improvements including pump station rehabilitation, sewer force main design and installation, water main replacement, and associated engineering and construction services. Recent opportunities show counties and municipalities across Florida, Texas, Georgia, California, South Carolina, and Arizona competing for work on lift station and pump station overhauls, low-pressure sewer system installations, waterline replacements, treatment plant upgrades, and utility-scale energy generation studies. Issuing bodies include county utilities departments and municipal water and wastewater authorities, with Seminole County Board of County Commissioners appearing twice in the recent record as a repeat buyer of pump station maintenance and rehabilitation work. Work solicited under this code involves concrete construction, mechanical and electrical system replacement, trenchless technologies, geotechnical investigation, and environmental permitting—a mix requiring licensed contractors with demonstrated municipal utility project experience and multi-disciplinary engineering support.

Geographic activity clusters in Florida, Texas, and California based on recent postings. Representative recent opportunities include Seminole County's Wastewater Pump Station R & R (Invitation for Bid CC710026HSMA, response due August 5, 2026) seeking master service agreement vendors with experience across 18 defined pump station scopes including force main connections, bypass pumping, wet well cleaning, and confined space operations; the City of College Station's Jones Butler Extension and Roundabout Project (RFP 26-073, response due June 24, 2026) encompassing storm drainage and wastewater line installation alongside road and roundabout construction; and the Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority's Alljoy Low Pressure Sewer Phase 1 (IFB 2026IFB020, response due March 24, 2026) covering approximately 21.5 miles of low-pressure sewer infrastructure with grinder pump installation and trenchless technologies. The Eastern Municipal Water District in California issued a utility-scale energy generation study RFP (RFP-JC-3940, response due June 26, 2026) targeting energy consulting for infrastructure evaluation. Contract values range from $175,000 to $2,020,000 on fixed-scope construction, with multi-year master service agreements and design-build engagements at higher levels.
