NIGP 75574: Concrete Heaters and Accessories

NIGP 75574 Concrete Heaters And Accessories, an Item code, encompasses concrete pads and encasements installed around utility structures during roadway and site improvements. State and local governments procure this commodity as a component of larger infrastructure projects—primarily street resurfacing, bridge replacement, pedestrian mobility work, and sidewalk installation—where adjustments to existing utility features (manholes, water valves, drop inlets, catch basins) require concrete protection and stabilization. The work is solicited across city departments of transportation, county public works offices, and community development authorities in the form of competitive sealed bids (IFB). Concrete heaters themselves do not appear in the recent opportunity block; the code reflects the use of concrete pads as site-hardening and utility-protection elements embedded in larger civil construction contracts.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Florida and Wisconsin. The City of Atlanta Department of Transportation issued two IFBs in July 2026—one for 2025 LMIG Street Resurfacing Group 3 across three streets (bids due August 3, 2026) specifying concrete pads around manhole, water valve, and drop inlet adjustments, and a second for Cleveland Avenue Pedestrian Mobility Improvements (bids due July 31, 2026) covering 1.42 miles of pedestrian and roadway work. Appling County Board of Commissioners in Georgia posted an IFB for 2026 LMIG roadway improvements in Baxley (bids due August 3, 2026). Santa Clara County, California has issued multiple pavement and bridge construction IFBs including the Red Fox Creek Bridge replacement (bids due March 5, 2026) with extensive concrete work and drainage components. The City of Madison Community Development Authority in Wisconsin solicited concrete sidewalk removal and replacement at Gay Braxton Apartments (bids due July 17, 2026). Orange County, Florida requested sealed bids for emergency bridge replacements (bids due July 7, 2026, estimated cost $6,202,246.05). These opportunities are embedded within broader infrastructure programs—LMIG grants, bridge replacements, ADA compliance work, and utility adjustments—where concrete heaters and pads are specified line items rather than standalone procurements.
