NIGP 98814: Erosion Control Services

NIGP 98814 Erosion Control Services, an Item code, encompasses the installation, stabilization, and maintenance of erosion-control measures on public infrastructure and natural areas, including hydroseeding, riprap placement, retaining walls, streambank restoration, slope protection, sediment control, and associated site stabilization work. State and local governments procure these services across airports, parks, trails, utility corridors, landfills, stormwater facilities, and flood-mitigation projects; recent solicitations show a mix of routine maintenance contracts and capital-project erosion-control components within larger renovation, reconstruction, or site-improvement initiatives. Cities, counties, school districts, and specialized public authorities (airport authorities, environmental agencies, state departments) are active buyers. The City of Fort Worth, Texas appears frequently as a repeat purchaser across multiple infrastructure categories. Work scopes range from small spot repairs—such as retaining-wall construction on the Brushy Creek Trail in Williamson County, Texas (responses due November 23, 2026, RFB 26RFCSP85)—to large integrated projects like the Turner County Airport apron and taxiway rehabilitation in Georgia under a Davis-Bacon Act contract (bids due November 17, 2026, PE77126NONST2027000000010) and the Charles County, Maryland stream-restoration project with mandatory 29.95% MWBE participation (bids due October 13, 2026, ITB 27009). Erosion-control elements commonly appear as line items nested within broader civil-works solicitations for paving, concrete restoration, sidewalk construction, and stormwater management across Texas municipalities and Southeast counties, with particular recent activity in Texas (Fort Worth, San Antonio, Cedar Park, Olathe, Kansas, and Charlotte, North Carolina), Georgia (Bartow County, Bulloch County, Perry, Atlanta), Florida (Casselberry, Cedar Park, Orange County), Maryland (Charles County), and Utah (Division of Wildlife Resources). Geographic concentration is heaviest in Texas and the Southeast, with secondary activity across the Great Plains and Mid-Atlantic regions.

Representative recent opportunities include the State of Utah Division of Wildlife Resources RFP for Goslin Creek restoration, which seeks a full-service design-and-implementation contractor to install up to 60 Zeedyk-style in-stream structures across 300 linear stream feet with an estimated budget of $77,000 and completion by November 30, 2026 (JH27121, qualifications due October 19, 2026); the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority's design-build solicitation for the Heintzelman Boulevard Pavement Rehabilitation project at Orlando International Airport (RFSQ 25542RFSQ, initial qualifications due January 12, 2026, estimated project cost $9,013,719.40) combining roadway rehabilitation with drainage, lighting, and erosion-control scope; and the City of San Antonio's Main Plaza Renovations (RFP 2026118, responses due December 1, 2026), a comprehensive plaza renovation encompassing site grading, landscaping, irrigation, and erosion control as subsidiary work elements. Issuing bodies range from state environmental and transportation agencies to county and municipal public-works departments, with federal-funded projects (Davis-Bacon Act, CDBG, NRDA/GOMESA funding mechanisms) introducing prevailing-wage, bonding, and federal procurement compliance requirements. Bid security typically ranges from 5% to 10% of bid amount; performance and payment bonds are standard, and many solicitations require proof of general liability and workers' compensation insurance. Pre-bid meetings, site visits, and question-submission deadlines are routine; small-business participation goals appear frequently in Texas and Maryland solicitations.
