NIGP 96245: Industrial Services Not Otherwise Classified (Electroplating, etc.)

NIGP 96245 Industrial Services Not Otherwise Classified (Electroplating, Etc.), an Item code, covers specialized infrastructure demolition, removal, and system installation work that state and local governments contract when existing equipment or systems require decommissioning or replacement. Recent solicitations show municipalities procuring comprehensive removal of stormwater treatment systems, irrigation system upgrades, and related site remediation—work that typically requires licensed contractors with documented experience in equipment-specific demolition or installation, compliance with environmental and safety standards, and coordination across operational public facilities. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include municipal utilities and parks departments; the recent activity is concentrated among Florida municipalities acting through their own procurement offices or county administration.

The City of Ocala (acting through Marion County) issued ITB ENG/260395 on September 28, 2026, for demolition and removal of the Tuscawilla Alum Treatment System equipment at Tuscawilla Park, with bids due April 2, 2026, requiring five years' documented stormwater treatment system demolition experience, a valid Florida General Contractor license, lead-safe practices, 60-calendar-day substantial completion, and bonding including a $1,000,000 Pollution Liability policy. The City of DeBary, Florida solicited through competitive bid 03-15 (posted October 19, 2026) for Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements—conversion of the existing irrigation infrastructure to a Hunter system with controller, master valve, and flow meter installation—with a mandatory pre-bid conference held March 25, 2015, bid deadline April 10, 2015, Engineer's estimate of $90,000, and 45-calendar-day completion from Notice to Proceed. Both opportunities reflect municipalities managing aging or replacement infrastructure in operational parks with tight completion windows, liquidated damages for delay, and substantial bonding and insurance requirements typical of critical utility or grounds infrastructure.
