About NIGP 96833
NIGP 96833 Ditch Maintenance, an Item code, encompasses vegetation removal from canal and drainage channels, erosion and slope repair, sediment management, and embankment stabilization work that state and local governments perform to maintain surface water conveyance systems and prevent flooding. Recent solicitations show that procurement spans flood control districts, counties, municipalities, and special-purpose water authorities buying either full construction services (equipment, labor, materials) or construction engineering and inspection oversight, with work ranging from routine canal clearing to complex channel reconstruction tied to stormwater and floodplain management.
The issuing-body mix is dominated by special-purpose flood control districts and county/municipal public works departments. Harris County Flood Control District and Harris County Precinct departments appear repeatedly in recent activity, as do the City of Palm Bay and other Florida municipalities, alongside state and county road departments. Geographic concentration is strong in Texas (Harris County, Calhoun County, Hillsborough County) and Florida (Palm Bay, Collier County, Broward County) — jurisdictions with extensive canal systems, coastal drainage infrastructure, and high stormwater management demand. Recent representative opportunities include Harris County Flood Control District's ITB for General Watershed Repairs to Channels across seven waterways (San Jacinto River, Luce Bayou, Cedar Bayou, and others) due July 20, 2026, structured as one-year work; Hillsborough County's three-year ITB for roadside ditch and canal cleaning maintenance services estimated at $2,847,500, due April 2, 2026; and the City of Palm Bay's re-bid ITB for canal clearing across eight canal segments totaling 8,851 linear feet, due June 23, 2026. Collier County's RFP for Construction Engineering and Inspection services on ditch improvements (due July 24, 2026) illustrates the concurrent demand for oversight consulting alongside construction delivery. Prevailing wage, OSHA certification, M/WBE participation goals, and performance/payment bonding appear consistently across federal-nexus and locally-funded projects, and bid security requirements typically run five percent of bid value. Activity is current and active through mid-2026, with response dates concentrated in the April-through-July window.
