NIGP 90646: Highways; Streets; Airport Pay-Parking Lots - Architectural

NIGP 90646 Highways; Streets; Airport Pay-Parking Lots - Architectural, an Item code, encompasses professional design, engineering, and planning services for roadway resurfacing, airport terminal and parking facility improvements, and related transportation infrastructure projects that state and local governments currently solicit through RFPs, RFQs, and ITBs. Recent state and local work under this code spans street resurfacing with milling and overlay specifications, airport runway and taxiway rehabilitation, terminal expansion and rental car facility design, streetscape and pedestrian connectivity improvements, and utility-infrastructure projects at airports and regional facilities. Issuing bodies include city public works departments (College Park, Waco, St. Petersburg, Newnan, Vidalia), regional airport authorities (Santa Fe, Waco, McKinney, Waycross-Ware County, Okaloosa County), county transportation and water agencies (Forsyth County, Gwinnett County, Harris County Flood Control District), state departments of transportation (Georgia DOT), and special-purpose authorities (Lower Colorado River Authority, Heart of Georgia Regional Airport Authority). Geographic activity concentrates in Georgia, Texas, and Florida, with additional procurement in New Mexico, Arizona, California, North Carolina, and Wisconsin. Representative recent opportunities include the City of College Park, Georgia issuing ITB 26-61 for street resurfacing on Harris Drive, Embassy Drive, Adam Street, and Alexandria Way (response due August 11, 2026), Forsyth County, Georgia requesting progressive design-build services for Old Atlanta Road Safety Improvements under SPLOST IX Transportation Bundle 5 (proposals due July 9, 2026), the City of Waco, Texas soliciting bids for Runway 1-19 rehabilitation and taxiway work at Waco Regional Airport funded through FAA AIP (bid due May 28, 2026), the City of Santa Fe soliciting A/E services for Santa Fe Regional Airport Terminal Expansion (RFP FY26RFP035, proposals due December 17, 2025), Georgia DOT requesting construction manager/general contractor services for the US 19/SR 9 Bridge replacement over CSX Railroad (proposals due November 19, 2026), and the City of McKinney, Texas issuing ITB 2646 for TKI Taxiway A Rehabilitation Phase II with an Engineer's Opinion of Probable Construction Cost of $9,061,000 (bids due April 30, 2026).

The code shows sustained activity across multiple project delivery methods—design-bid-build, progressive design-build, design-build, and on-call professional services agreements—with qualification-based selection prevalent for A/E work, particularly under state procurement codes and FAA grant requirements. Prevailing wage compliance, performance and payment bonding at one hundred percent of contract value, and comprehensive insurance requirements (general liability from $1,000,000 to $2,000,000 per occurrence, professional liability from $1,000,000 to $5,000,000) are standard across the recent solicitations. Local-vendor preferences appear in several Georgia procurements (College Park allows up to 3 percent bid premium for local businesses with prior-year staffed location within city limits; Santa Fe applies local preference scoring adjustments). DBE, MBE, WBE, and VBE participation goals are specified in many airport and federal-grant-funded projects, with Georgia DOT SVDBE and DBE reporting requirements common in design-build procurements. Regional architectural and engineering prequalifications with state DOTs (particularly Georgia) are frequently mandated. The code activity reflects ongoing municipal and regional investment in transportation, airport, and utility infrastructure, with most opportunities requiring state or professional licensure, demonstrated experience with similar project types, and financial capacity to obtain bonding.
