NIGP 913: Construction Services, Heavy, Including Maintenance and Repair Services

NIGP 913 Construction Services, Heavy, Including Maintenance and Repair Services is a Class code under which state and local governments procure a broad range of heavy construction, infrastructure rehabilitation, and specialized facility work—spanning roadway and drainage improvements, water and wastewater system installations, building renovations, utility infrastructure, stormwater management, and site restoration. The issuing bodies are diverse: city public works and engineering departments dominate recent activity, but the code also captures county transportation and facilities management, school districts, regional water authorities, state transportation and facility agencies, and special-purpose districts. Boston Parks and Recreation, Delaware Department of Transportation, City of Bridgeport, City of Wichita, Hillsborough County Water Resources, Boulder County, and Seminole County are among repeat or notable recent buyers. Work solicited includes both fixed-scope projects under IFB or RFP and indefinite-quantity term contracts with task-order authorization, with evaluation typically weighted toward qualifications, past performance, bonding capacity, prevailing wage compliance, and, in competitive settings, lowest responsive and responsible bid.

Geographic activity spans all regions, with concentrated recent posting activity in California (Orange County, City of Long Beach, City of Port Orange, County of San Mateo, City of Bend), Florida (Hillsborough County, City of Port Orange, City of Tampa), the Northeast (Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Delaware), and the Midwest (Kansas, Colorado). Representative recent opportunities include the Boston Parks and Recreation Department IFB for conservation of historic grave markers at Dorchester North Burying Ground, due November 5, 2026; the Delaware Department of Transportation's Adams Street Pathway Phase II project, a federally-assisted shared-use pathway with ADA improvements in Wilmington, with bids due November 17, 2026; the City of Pittsburgh's Lewis Park Improvements IFB, encompassing demolition, site prep, basketball courts, playground safety surfacing, pavilion shelter, spray pad, and landscaping in Hazelwood, with bids due November 16, 2026; Hillsborough County Engineering's Kirby Street Pump Station #08 Rehabilitation IFB, a new stormwater pump station with decommissioning of the existing facility valued at approximately $1.47 million, with bids due November 13, 2026; and Orange County Public Works' Modjeska Grade Road Road and Drainage Improvements, a $17.8 million pavement reconstruction and drainage project with mandatory pre-bid meeting and site visit on October 20, 2026, and bids due November 3, 2026. Contracts regularly include SBE, MBE, WBE, or DBE participation goals, prevailing wage requirements, performance and payment bond obligations, and liquidated damages for schedule delays. Activity is current and competitive.
