NIGP 98826: Flood Control Services

NIGP 98826 Flood Control Services, an Item code, encompasses the construction, installation, maintenance, and design of stormwater drainage systems, retention ponds, levees, floodwalls, and allied green infrastructure. State and local governments procure this work through invitational-bid (IFB), sealed-bid, and design-services contracts addressing drainage upgrades in subdivisions, regional flood abatement, water quality pond construction, coastal dune restoration, bridge replacement with integrated stormwater management, and specialized flood monitoring systems. Recent solicitations show issuing bodies spanning county commissions (Greenville County, South Carolina; Pasco County and Marion County, Florida; Williamson County, Texas; Hudson County, New Jersey; Santa Clara County, California), city government (City of Tucson; City of Orlando), state environmental agencies (State of Illinois Department of Natural Resources), and county-level park and recreation departments (DeKalb County, Georgia; Pinellas County, Florida). Scope of work extends from large capital projects—such as FEMA levee and floodwall construction and TCEQ water quality pond systems—to specialized landscape maintenance for green stormwater infrastructure assets and preventive inspection and repair of installed flood barrier systems. Contracts require adherence to federal compliance frameworks including Davis-Bacon prevailing wage requirements, Buy America standards, and Project Labor Agreements where federal funding is involved; state-level prevailing wage, BEP utilization, and other business enterprise set-asides apply selectively by jurisdiction.

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida (Marion County, Pasco County, Pinellas County, and City of Orlando), Texas (Williamson County), South Carolina (Greenville County), California (Santa Clara County), Illinois (State Department of Natural Resources), New Jersey (Hudson County), and Georgia (DeKalb County).
