NIGP 15081: Ties, Wall and Rafter (Not Concrete Form)

NIGP 15081 Ties, Wall and Rafter (Not Concrete Form) is an Item code that captures concrete structural and site work procurements by state and local governments, including reinforced concrete pads, sidewalks, and bridge replacement projects. State and local buyers under this code are sourcing general contracting services for concrete installation and site preparation work — excavation, subgrade compaction, base preparation, forming, reinforcement placement, and finishing — along with associated labor, materials, equipment, and permitting. Issuing bodies include charter schools, city community development authorities, and county governments. The work typically requires contractor licensing, general liability insurance with minimum $1,000,000 per-occurrence limits, workers' compensation coverage, and often includes warranty provisions (commonly one year for workmanship) and compliance with local prevailing-wage or affirmative-action ordinances when applicable.

Recent activity shows geographic spread across Texas, Wisconsin, and Florida. The City of Madison Community Development Authority issued an IFB for concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (response due July 17, 2026), with Davis-Bacon wage determination requirements and local vendor preference scoring. Cirrus Academy Charter School in Texas posted an RFP for a reinforced concrete basketball court pad measuring 4,200 square feet (response due October 15, 2026), with cost weighted at 40 percent of award criteria, experience at 30 percent, references at 20 percent, and schedule at 10 percent. Orange County, Florida issued an emergency sealed-bid procurement for replacement of two bridges with an estimated project cost of $6,202,246.05 (response due July 7, 2026, updated from an earlier June 25 deadline), representing substantially larger-scope bridge infrastructure work. Award timelines and pre-bid Q&A periods are tight, typically one to two weeks from posting to response, with addenda issued during the solicitation window.
