NIGP 15553: Parking Structures

NIGP 15553 Parking Structures, an Item code, encompasses the design, construction, rehabilitation, and operational management of standalone parking facilities—garages, lots, and related infrastructure—solicited across Florida, Georgia, and Texas through design-build RFPs, IFBs, and ITBs. State and local governments buying under this code are procuring multi-level parking garages with 290 to 2,200 spaces, parking-lot expansions with stormwater and utility integration, structural repairs to existing decks and stairways, and comprehensive facility operations and maintenance. Issuing bodies include cities (Orlando, Winter Park, Ocala, Bradenton, Atlanta), counties (Volusia, Okaloosa, Galveston, Stephens), port authorities (Canaveral Port Authority, Broward County/Port Everglades), and transit-adjacent municipal agencies; Florida municipalities dominate recent solicitation volume, with Georgia and Texas activity emerging. Repeat buyers include the City of Ocala (parking-lot improvement program and mast-arm painting on traffic infrastructure), Volusia County (Ocean Center Parking Garage structural repairs), and the Greater Orlando Aviation Authority (roadway and airfield-adjacent infrastructure). Representative recent opportunities include the City of Orlando's Grove Park Garage design-build RFP (RFP26-0434, due September 4, 2026, $35.75 million total budget, 800+ spaces across seven levels with MBE 18% and WBE 6% participation goals); the Canaveral Port Authority's Cruise Terminal 3 West Parking Garage design-build (RFP 26-13/PN 26-001, due July 30, 2026, 2,200 spaces across six levels); and the City of Atlanta's Chastain Park Parking Garage design-build pre-advertisement (PE66062NONST2027000000493, RFP due November 6, 2026, 290+ spaces, M/FBE 25%/10% joint-venture mandates for contracts valued at $5 million or greater).

Recent activity concentrates in Florida, where Volusia County (Ocean Center Parking Garage deck and stairway structural repairs, IFB due August 27, 2026, $1.5 million), Okaloosa County (Shore at Crystal Beach Park expansion with parking and boardwalk, ITB due October 28, 2026), the City of Winter Park (Library and Event Center Parking Lot Expansion, IFB due October 24, 2025, $497,654.61), the City of Bradenton (City Center and Judicial Center Parking Garage repair and maintenance, RFP due June 25, 2026), and Broward County (Port Everglades cruise terminal parking garage consulting services, pre-solicitation notice June 1, 2026 for design phase) have all issued parking-structure solicitations. Georgia activity includes the City of Augusta's Central Business District on-street parking and curb-space management RFQ (RFQ 26-277, due October 7, 2026, two-phase evaluation for 620–2,700 on-street spaces) and the City of Atlanta's Chastain Park project. Texas includes the City of Ocala's Parking Lot Improvement Program (ITB CIP/250996, due February 6, 2026, over 450 line items for repaving, overlay, stormwater, and curb work) and Galveston County's Ray Holbrook Park softball fields and facilities operations concession (RFP 26-099, due June 18, 2026). Design-build delivery dominates new-construction solicitations, with LEED and sustainability mandates, Davis-Bacon compliance, and M/FBE or local-preference set-asides appearing across jurisdictions. Parking-lot rehabilitation and on-street management services represent steady demand; new garage construction projects remain high-dollar, competitive, and gated to design-build or CM-at-Risk firms with documented experience in similar public facilities.
