NIGP 91170: Capitalized Construction Interest

NIGP Item 91170, Capitalized Construction Interest, encompasses construction financing and bridge and infrastructure replacement work that state and local governments solicit through competitive sealed bids and requests for proposals. Recent solicitations under this code show two distinct work streams: bridge removal and replacement projects ranging from $6.2 million to $7 million, and multi-year infrastructure renovation at corrections and municipal facilities. Montgomery County Department of Administration & Infrastructure posted an IFB in July 2026 for removal of Bridge #145, a three-span steel I-beam structure over Skippack Creek with a response deadline of August 6, 2026. Orange County, Florida has been the dominant repeat buyer, issuing multiple sealed bids for emergency bridge replacements (Wallington Drive Bridge No. 754190 and Egret Way Bridge No. 754187 at $6,202,246.05, with the most recent response date of July 7, 2026), corrections facility renovations including cell renovations and domestic water piping replacement at $4,100,000.00, and security-controls and secure-door replacement at the Corrections Bureau Reception Center and Building E at $7,000,000.00. These solicitations require electronic submission through the OpenGov e-Procurement Platform with mandatory pre-bid or question submission windows.

Activity under this code concentrates in Florida and Georgia, with secondary activity in Pennsylvania, Texas, and South Carolina. County governments and special-purpose authorities (corrections departments, water authorities) dominate the issuing-body mix. Beyond the bridge and corrections work, recent solicitations also include utility relocation projects (City of Cibolo, Texas FM 1103 utility relocation involving 7,500 linear feet of water line and sanitary sewer work), park and community facility construction (City of South Fulton Progressive Design-Build for Cedar Grove Park Community Building, DeKalb County School District CMaR for Dunwoody High School Stadium at $2,200,000, Georgia World Congress Center Authority RFP for Olympic Cauldron installation at $7 million), and low-pressure sewer installation (Beaufort-Jasper Water and Sewer Authority Phase 1 in South Carolina). Most recent opportunities require performance and payment bonds, comprehensive liability insurance, E-Verify compliance, and prevailing wage certification where applicable. The code is active with mid-sized construction projects ($2 million to $7 million range) suitable for general contractors, MEP specialists, and specialty infrastructure firms with municipal and corrections facility experience.
