NIGP 76059 Recycled Earth Handling, Grading, Moving and Packing Equipment and Accessories, an Item code, covers the heavy equipment, labor, and material services state and local governments procure for site preparation, earth movement, material placement, and grading work. Recent state and local solicitations show active demand for beach renourishment (sand transport, placement, and grading), bridge replacement and roadway rehabilitation projects (excavation, site clearing, fill placement), and utility relocation support in construction contexts. Issuing bodies include county transportation and public works departments, city engineering divisions, and regional transit or infrastructure authorities. Collier County, Florida; Orange County, Florida; the City of Marietta, Georgia; and Santa Clara County, California have posted sealed-bid and IFB opportunities under this code in the past six months, with project budgets ranging from approximately $6 million to $6.2 million per award.
