NIGP 92523: Dam Engineering

NIGP 92523 Dam Engineering is an Item code under which state and local governments procure design, engineering, and construction management services for dam rehabilitation, repair, and safety programs. Recent solicitations show state water resource agencies, county engineering departments, and municipal utilities purchasing comprehensive dam engineering support including detailed design and permitting, preconstruction advisory services, construction inspection, monitoring system installation, and independent technical review—work that ranges from seismic assessment and spillway reconstruction to automated gate systems and hydrologic modeling in support of dam safety compliance and hazard mitigation.

State water resource departments and county governments dominate recent activity. The California Department of Water Resources, Colorado Parks and Wildlife, Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities, and Maryland county governments appear repeatedly; city engineering departments and special districts such as the St. Johns River Water Management District and Harris County Flood Control District round out the buyer mix. Geographic spread includes California, Colorado, Utah, Maryland, Georgia, Connecticut, Florida, and Texas. Representative recent opportunities include Colorado Parks and Wildlife's RFP for Construction Manager/General Contractor preconstruction services for Spring Creek Dam Rehabilitation (proposal deadline June 15, 2026, estimated preconstruction phase value $130,000 to $150,000 with construction phase estimated at $8 million to $10 million), the California Department of Water Resources' RFQ for hydrologic engineering expert service on a three-member dam safety technical review board (SOQ deadline July 17, 2026, contract value $50,000 to $100,000 over three years), the Salt Lake City Department of Public Utilities' RFP for Red Pine Dam rehabilitation engineering services (proposals due March 27, 2026), and the Town of Berlin, Connecticut's solicitation for civil engineering design and construction administration for Paper Goods Pond Dam repair (proposals due May 28, 2026). Prevailing wage requirements, federal water infrastructure compliance standards, and state-level set-aside programs for small business and disadvantaged enterprises appear standard across recent postings.
