NIGP 74521: Asphaltic Concrete, Hot Laid Including Bituminous Materials

NIGP 74521 Asphaltic Concrete, Hot Laid Including Bituminous Materials is an Item code covering the supply, mix design, and placement of hot-mix asphalt pavements for municipal and county road resurfacing, overlay, and maintenance projects. State and local governments buy this code to repair and extend the service life of existing roadways through milling, base stabilization, and new asphalt laydown, typically as part of broader street rehabilitation programs or standalone pavement-preservation contracts. Recent solicitations show heavy demand for Superpave mixes, recycled asphalt paving (RAP) blends, and cold-mix products alongside traditional hot-mix formulations.

Issuing bodies span city public works departments, county road and bridge divisions, regional transit authorities, and special-purpose districts managing municipal infrastructure across Florida, Georgia, Texas, California, Colorado, Kansas, and Wisconsin. Cities of Orlando, San Antonio, and Atlanta; counties including DeKalb (Georgia), Collin (Texas), Santa Clara (California), Boulder (Colorado), Forsyth (Georgia), and Orange (Florida); and regional authorities such as the Orlando Utilities Commission and Hillsborough County Public Schools have posted multiple solicitations in recent months. The procurement mix reflects both as-needed supply contracts—where jurisdictions establish pricing frameworks with one or more qualified vendors for ongoing material purchases—and project-specific resurfacing work under fixed-price or task-order vehicles. Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary's 2019 and FY20 Street Resurfacing Projects (IFB, response dates May 29, 2019 and May 19, 2020, estimated cost $590,000) requiring FDOT Type SP-12.5 Superpave overlay and milling; DeKalb County's hot mix asphaltic concrete supply (ITB, five-year contract, bids due September 24, 2026); the City of Olathe's hot and cold mix asphalt materials procurement (IFB 26-0085, seven formulations including Superpave, bids due September 25, 2026); Forsyth County's hot asphaltic concrete as-needed supply (three-year term, 2027–2029, bids due September 17, 2026); and the City of Palo Alto's blanket purchase order for HMA and coldmix cutback on a three-year cycle (RFQ, primary and secondary suppliers required, bids due April 8, 2026). Geographic activity concentrates in the Southeast (Florida, Georgia) and Southwest (Texas), with additional solid volume in the Mid-Atlantic and Upper Midwest. Most jurisdictions enforce local-vendor preferences where applicable and impose 10 percent Disadvantaged/Small/Women-owned Business Enterprise participation goals or good-faith-effort requirements on larger projects.
