NIGP 91114: C.i.p., Construction Contingency

NIGP 91114 C.I.P., Construction Contingency, an Item code, covers construction contingency and reserve services that state and local governments buy to manage cost and schedule risk on capital projects, including design-build delivery models, construction management at risk (CMaR) services, and general contracting work for infrastructure expansion, renovation, and replacement.

State and local issuing bodies across multiple jurisdictions and project types are actively soliciting under this code. Counties (Pasco, Orange, Seminole, Marion, DeKalb) and cities (South Fulton, Lubbock, Cibolo, Brownsville, Palm Bay, Daytona Beach, Owensboro) dominate the recent activity, alongside university systems (Georgia State via GSFIC; Houston City College) and special-purpose authorities (Georgia World Congress Center Authority; Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority). Representative recent opportunities include Orange County, Florida issuing an IFB for Holden Avenue Sidewalk Design (Y26-747) with an estimated cost of $1.27 million and bids due July 14, 2026; the Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission soliciting CMaR qualifications for One Arsenal Place Renovation at Columbus State University (Project J-465-CM) with a stated cost limitation of $13.5 million and statements of qualifications due August 10, 2026; Seminole County Board of County Commissioners requesting CMAR proposals for a new Indoor Sports Complex (PS722326LNF) with proposals due June 17, 2026; and Orange County issuing an ITB for emergency bridge replacements (Wallington Drive Bridge No. 754190 and Egret Way Bridge No. 754187, Y26-742) estimated at $6.2 million with bids due July 7, 2026. Geographic concentration is heaviest in Florida (Orange, Pasco, Seminole, Marion counties and multiple cities) and Georgia (DeKalb County, City of South Fulton, Atlanta-area authorities), with secondary activity in Texas (Lubbock, Cibolo, Brownsville) and scattered opportunities in Kentucky, California, and South Carolina. The code is seeing sustained activity across notice types—RFPs for design-build and professional services, RFQs for construction management, and IFBs/ITBs for fixed-scope construction delivery—with project values ranging from approximately $1 million to $30 million for design and construction phases combined.
