NIGP 91112: C.i.p., Building Studies

NIGP 91112, C.I.P., Building Studies (Item) encompasses evaluation, assessment, and planning studies of municipal and institutional buildings and properties conducted at the pre-design or feasibility stage. State and local governments use this code to procure architectural and engineering analysis of existing structures, building system conditions, space needs assessments, renovation feasibility studies, and compliance evaluations before committing to design or construction. Recent opportunities show municipalities, counties, and university systems soliciting comprehensive building evaluations—including structural assessment, systems audit, occupancy analysis, and renovation planning—typically through RFP or RFQ vehicles with technical and fee proposal components. Issuing bodies include city procurement offices (City of Norwalk, Connecticut; City of McDonough, Georgia), county commissions (Glynn County, Georgia; DeKalb County, Georgia; Santa Clara County, California), and state higher-education authorities (Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission on behalf of Columbus State University).

Recent solicitation activity concentrates in Georgia and California, with secondary activity in Connecticut. The City of Norwalk posted RFP BLDG2026-2 in October 2026 for transfer station building and property evaluation, proposals due November 3, 2026. Glynn County, Georgia issued RFP27-009 for public safety building space needs assessment and renovation planning services, due November 12, 2026, with a non-mandatory pre-proposal conference scheduled October 20, 2026. The Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission solicited construction management at risk qualifications for the One Arsenal Place Renovation at Columbus State University (Project J-465-CM), a 67,000-square-foot historic building study with a preliminary Stated Cost Limitation of $13.5 million and qualifications due August 10, 2026. Santa Clara County issued a design-build progressive RFP (RFSQ-FAF-FY27_263-CP26011) for RMC seismic compliance with a prequalification deadline of September 16, 2026 gating entry to qualified design-build entities. Opportunities reflect a mix of public facilities (transfer stations, public safety buildings), historic preservation, seismic compliance, and academic institutional renovations, signaling active capital planning cycles across municipal and regional issuing bodies.
