NIGP 12020: Boat Ramps and Parts

NIGP 12020 Boat Ramps and Parts, an Item code, encompasses the construction, reconstruction, repair, and improvement of public boat ramps and associated waterfront infrastructure. State and local governments solicit under this code for heavy/highway construction work including ramp demolition and reconstruction, dock installation, seawall and sheet pile work, floating dock systems, erosion controls, and site preparation—typically as competitive sealed bids requiring licensed contractors, performance and payment bonds, prevailing wage compliance, and comprehensive insurance coverage. County boards of county commissioners, city purchasing departments, and special districts issue these solicitations, often specifying detailed engineering plans and technical specifications across multiple attachments and requiring pre-bid conference participation or Q&A cycles through procurement portals.

Recent activity spans Connecticut and Florida. The City of Bridgeport, Connecticut Department of Public Purchases issued an IFB (ENB045266) on May 4, 2026 for reconstruction of the Newfield Boat Ramp—a complete demolition and rebuild including a new 39-foot-6-inch reinforced concrete plank ramp at 15 percent slope, concrete headwall, floating docks with timber guide piles, and stone revetment, with electronic bid submission required by June 2, 2026 and prevailing wage rates from $22.20 to $67.52 hourly.
