NIGP 74550: Fiber Reinforced Surface Treatment

NIGP 74550 Fiber Reinforced Surface Treatment, an Item code, encompasses hot mix asphalt overlays, micro-surfacing applications, and related pavement rehabilitation work that state and local governments deploy to extend roadway life and manage surface deterioration. Recent solicitations show jurisdictions using this code for two-to-five-mile pavement projects combining partial depth recycling, asphalt concrete patching, thermoplastic striping, and ancillary improvements such as curb and gutter replacement, bioretention basin installation, and traffic control modifications. Issuing bodies include county transportation departments and special-purpose districts responsible for regional and local road networks; school districts also appear as buyers for campus infrastructure projects. Work typically ranges from $1.2 million to multi-million-dollar contracts completed within 45 to 210 calendar days depending on scope, with most projects requiring 5 percent bid bonds, performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract price, and compliance with state Department of Transportation specifications and prevailing wage requirements.

Recent activity concentrates in California and Georgia. Santa Clara County posted three opportunities between February and May 2026 for expressway pavement rehabilitation, guardrail replacement, and bridge replacement projects; Appling County, Georgia issued an IFB in March 2026 for 5.276 miles of micro-surfacing on Lake Chapel Church Road (due April 20, 2026, approximately $65,000 square yards of material); and Barrow County, Georgia solicited resurfacing on Wynn Lake Road in February 2026 (due March 18, 2026). San Jacinto Community College District in Houston, Texas posted a CSP for South Campus pavement repair at approximately $1.2 million (due May 21, 2026). The City of Sandy Springs, Georgia also posted an ITS fiber project in February 2026 that included fiber optic installation at $97,500 base bid, attracting four bidders with award to Smart Road Technology, LLC at $717,062.00. Mandatory pre-bid meetings and fixed response dates are standard; physical bid submission is required in most California and Georgia jurisdictions, and electronic bidding is limited to specific platforms such as IonWave in Texas.
