NIGP 37054: Table, Grading

NIGP 37054 Table, Grading, an Item code, encompasses earthwork and site preparation services that state and local governments procure for infrastructure and park improvements—specifically excavation, material grading, compaction, and final surface preparation on projects ranging from stormwater facilities to bridge approaches. The issuing bodies soliciting under this code include county governments and special-purpose districts managing capital improvement and emergency replacement projects. Work scope focuses on site grading tied to larger construction efforts: recent solicitations include excavation of material volumes measured in hundreds of cubic yards, grading of multiple acres with specified turf mixes and erosion controls, and preparation of roadbeds and embankments for bridge replacements and stormwater installations.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast. Greenville County, South Carolina posted IFB 26112 in August 2026 for stormwater and park improvements at Riverbend Equestrian Center, requiring excavation of 1,000 cubic yards and grading of 4 acres with equine turf seeding, phased erosion and sediment control, and completion within 90 calendar days from Notice to Proceed; response was due June 12, 2026. Orange County, Florida issued sealed-bid solicitation Y26742 in June 2026 for emergency replacement of Wallington Drive Bridge (No. 754190) and Egret Way Bridge (No. 754187) with an estimated cost of $6,202,246.05 and response deadline of July 7, 2026, with grading and site preparation as supporting work elements. Both opportunities required performance bonds, comprehensive liability insurance, and compliance with state utility and environmental permitting requirements.
