NIGP 91120: C.i.p., Demolition Contingency

NIGP 91120 Comprehensive Construction Item — C.i.p., Demolition Contingency — encompasses full-scope building demolition and site remediation services, including structural removal, debris disposal, environmental abatement, utility disconnection, grading, and site restoration. State and local governments procure this work on both individual-project and term-contract bases to clear surplus or blighted properties, support infrastructure replacement, enable urban redevelopment corridors, and remediate brownfield sites. Issuing bodies include municipal planning and redevelopment agencies, county facilities departments, public authorities (including transit and utility operators), and special-purpose districts. Florida and Georgia jurisdictions dominate recent activity, with the City of Ocala alone issuing four separate RFQs for structure demolition in the past three months, often requiring three years' prior demolition experience, $1 million per-occurrence general liability coverage, and 60-day project completion windows. Standard qualifications include active licensing (general contractor or residential builder), prior experience with similar demolition scope, and management of environmental compliance (asbestos surveys, EPA notification, FDEP filing) and permitting burdens (demolition permits, septic tank decommissioning, utility approvals). Prime-contractor self-performance thresholds typically range from 30 to 60 percent of contract value.

Recent opportunities span single-structure demolition (City of Bartow Community Redevelopment Agency, ITB 2633, 970 E Main Street, $100,000 maximum, due October 14, 2026; City of New Haven, ITB 2026-ITB-377, 306 Dixwell Avenue emergency demolition, due July 15, 2026 with mandatory June 6 pre-bid), multi-site packaged demolition (Atlanta Beltline, Inc., competitive sealed bid DC2026103 covering Bennett Street, 95 Milton Avenue, and Murphy Crossing with 30% DBE participation goal, due July 8, 2026), as-needed term contracts (City of Brownsville, RFB due July 29, 2026), and demolition integrated with larger capital projects (City of Union City streetscape and park demolition, RFB-PS-26-05, due August 7, 2026). Work is concentrated in Florida (Ocala, Bartow, Orange County), Georgia (Atlanta Beltline, Union City, DeKalb County), and scattered municipal markets (New Haven, Connecticut; Brownsville, Texas; Jackson County, Missouri). Set-aside and preference provisions appear in Connecticut and Georgia procurements (25% MBE/WBE utilization goals in New Haven; 30% DBE participation in Atlanta Beltline). Prevailing wage and living-wage statutes apply where contract thresholds are exceeded, particularly in Connecticut and Texas Government Code jurisdictions.
