NIGP 91315: Construction, Canal or Aquaduct

NIGP 91315 Construction, Canal or Aqueduct, an Item code, encompasses design and construction of canal stabilization, bank restoration, erosion control, and related water infrastructure projects that state and local governments solicit to address flooding, sedimentation, coastal erosion, and environmental degradation. Recent opportunities show state and local bodies procuring everything from small-scale bank stabilization using riprap and gabion systems to major multi-mile stream restoration with hydrologic modeling, geotechnical investigation, and native vegetation establishment. The State of Arizona solicited bids in July 2026 for the Valley Road Bank Stabilization project (Yavapai County) involving grading, Reno Mattresses, Gabion Baskets, riprap installation, and guardrail work under IFB notice with an August 11 response date. Orange County, Florida issued an August 13 response deadline for the Horizon West Trail Phase 1A project, a $5.7 million sealed-bid construction of a 0.668-mile multi-use trail with concrete and asphalt sections, a prestressed concrete pile-supported boardwalk crossing an existing culvert, and water main replacement, requiring FDOT prequalification and PCI-certified precast fabrication. Williamson County, Texas posted two IFB solicitations in July 2026: one for Smith Branch Flood Control and Water Quality Ponds (FEMA levee, floodwall, and TCEQ pond construction), and another for Cross Culvert Replacements across the county. The issuing bodies range across state departments, county engineering divisions, municipalities, and special-purpose water authorities—Arizona Department of Transportation, Orange County Public Works, Williamson County Commissioners' Court, Monroe County Facilities Management, and city/county utility and public works departments dominate recent postings.

Geographic activity concentrates heavily in Florida, Texas, Arizona, Georgia, California, Colorado, and Utah, with Florida representing the largest cluster through Orange County, Brevard County, Sarasota County, Hillsborough County, and multiple municipalities. Seasonal funding patterns reflect post-hurricane and federal disaster recovery initiatives, particularly in Florida through NOAA grants and Community Development Block Grant funding. Representative opportunities include Orange County's emergency bridge replacements (Y26-742, $6.2 million, June 2026) and Sarasota County's Alligator Creek Stream Restoration ($1.4 million estimate, April 2026 IFB), the latter funded through NOAA and requiring 95 percent soil compaction, native plantings at 67 percent survival rates, and exotic vegetation removal. Monroe County issued a June 2026 RFQ for seawall and canal stabilization (Old Marathon Tax Collector Building, Hurricane Irma mitigation, Davis-Bacon prevailing wage), and the City of Altamonte Springs posted a Hurricane Milton erosion control project under federal NRCS Emergency Watershed Protection funding. Broward County, Santa Clara County, and Salt Lake City brought offerings spanning fiber-optic-integrated roadway-drainage improvements, pavement rehabilitation with bioretention basins, and complex valve and pipeline installation requiring ten-year contractor experience and federal Buy American compliance.
