NIGP 83022: Cement Lined Tanks

NIGP 83022 Cement Lined Tanks, an Item code, covers construction materials and installation services for concrete storage tanks and cement-based infrastructure serving municipal water, wastewater, and transportation departments. State and local buyers soliciting under this code are primarily municipal utilities departments and city public works divisions procuring either bulk Portland cement for street and sidewalk maintenance or engineered prestressed concrete ground storage tanks for potable water systems. The scope ranges from raw materials (Portland cement compliant with standard specifications) to complete tank construction projects including foundational systems, mixing apparatus, yard piping, fencing, grading, soil stabilization, and erosion control measures. Cities and municipal utilities issue the solicitations, with tank projects typically requiring specialized contractor qualifications such as minimum years of experience in prestressed composite tank construction, valid state utility contractor licenses, and certified Utility Managers on staff.

Recent activity centers on Georgia and North Carolina. The City of Charlotte issued an ITB in October 2026 for Portland cement to supply the Charlotte Department of Transportation's Street Maintenance Division for sidewalk installation, curb and gutter work, driveway repair, and signal foundation work, with proposals due November 3, 2026. The City of Calhoun, Georgia Utilities Department has pursued two successive solicitations for a two-million-gallon prestressed concrete ground storage tank at Fire Tower Road (Brogdon) — the original ITB posted June 4, 2026 with a June 18 closing, later postponed and reissued with an October 6, 2026 bid opening under Addendum No. 2. Calhoun's tank project requires bidders to hold a Georgia Utility Contractor license and employ a certified Utility Manager; acceptable manufacturers are limited to CROM Corporation, PreCon Corporation, or engineer-approved equivalents, with 240-day project completion and 100 percent performance and payment bonds required upon award.
