NIGP 75515: Asphalt Heaters, Electric

NIGP 75515 Asphalt Heaters, Electric is an Item code encompassing electric heating equipment used in asphalt pavement construction and maintenance. State and local governments procure this equipment primarily as embedded components within broader roadway and airfield construction projects rather than as standalone commodity purchases. Recent solicitations show the work involves supplying labor, materials, and equipment for pavement rehabilitation, including asphalt overlay, spall repairs, joint and crack sealing, and full-depth slab replacement at airports and along urban and suburban corridors. Issuing bodies soliciting under this code include city departments of transportation (City of Atlanta), county transportation and aviation authorities (Broward County Highway Construction and Engineering Division, Santa Clara County), and airport departments (Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport). These jurisdictions typically bundle asphalt heating equipment specifications within larger fixed-price construction contracts where vendors furnish all materials and tools required for pavement work.

Recent activity concentrates in the Southeast and West Coast. The City of Atlanta Department of Transportation posted IFB/CON/DOT/2603-1260149 for Cleveland Avenue Pedestrian Mobility Improvements (due July 31, 2026), which includes asphalt work as part of pedestrian and roadway improvements along 1.42 miles. Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport's Department of Aviation posted SOQ/CS/DOA/2605-1260197 (due June 26, 2026) for airfield pavement repairs including asphalt shoulder work, runway and taxiway spall repairs, and joint sealing across 24/7 operations. Broward County posted TRN2131938C1 for Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion (due June 2, 2026), requiring comprehensive pavement work including hot mix asphalt overlay. Santa Clara County posted ITBRDAFY260694 for Central Expressway Pavement Rehabilitation (due May 21, 2026), specifying partial depth recycling and hot mix asphalt overlay. These contracts typically impose strict performance schedules, DBE or CBE participation requirements, and liquidated damages for delays. Contractors must hold FDOT Pre-Qualification Certificates or equivalent state transportation certifications and carry comprehensive bonding and insurance coverage.
