NIGP 91348: Construction, Special Foundation

NIGP 91348 Construction, Special Foundation is an Item code covering structural ground engineering and specialized foundation work that state and local governments solicit for infrastructure repair, replacement, and improvement projects. Recent state and local opportunities show work spanning stormwater drainage systems with reinforced concrete pipe and manhole installation, retaining wall and slope stabilization with shotcrete facing and ground anchors, seismic compliance upgrades to hospital and medical center buildings, utility infrastructure renewal including water and sewer line replacement with pipe bursting and trench-less methods, and site-critical concrete work such as bridge replacement, parking lot and sidewalk construction, and specialized geotechnical applications like helical pier installation and soil stabilization. State and local issuing bodies across this code include counties (Santa Clara, San Mateo, Orange, Greenville, Pasco, Pinellas, Palm Beach, Marion), cities (DeBary, Cincinnati, Monroe, Cumming, Thomasville, Bartow, New Smyrna Beach, Hampton, Rio Rancho), school districts (Bibb County Public Schools, Pinellas County School District, William S. Hart Union High School District), special-purpose districts (Sanitation District No. 2-3, Springfield Utility Board, Atlanta Beltline), and state agencies (Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission for technical colleges, Texas Juvenile Justice Department). Santa Clara County and California jurisdictions appear prominently in seismic compliance and hospital upgrade work; Florida counties dominate stormwater and drainage projects; Georgia cities and counties carry multiple park, municipal infrastructure, and site improvement solicitations.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary's Small Scale Stormwater Improvement Project No. 4 (Bid 06-18), an IFB for drainage system construction with $233,250.00 estimated cost and August 28, 2018 response date (mandatory pre-bid August 9, 2018); the County of Santa Clara's multiple seismic compliance projects at healthcare facilities—O'Connor Hospital NPC 4/5 prequalification (RFSQ-FAF-FY27_263-CP25006-2, due August 27, 2026), Saint Louise Regional Hospital NPC 4/5 (RFSQ-FAF-FY27_263-CP25006-3, due September 28, 2026), and SCVMC Building E NPC 4 Upgrade (RFSQ-FAF-FY27_263-CP25006-4, due October 14, 2026)—all mandatory prequalification rounds preceding full proposals; Palm Beach County's Jupiter Plantation Ditch Pipe Replacement (IFB 36020226043, due August 18, 2026) with 10% SBE goal and reinforced concrete pipe and helical pile scope; San Mateo County's Lerida Court and Gabarda Way Retaining Walls (IFB E5022, due March 19, 2026) with shotcrete-faced walls, ground anchors, and $3.06 million estimated value; and the City of Cincinnati's Columbia Parkway Riverside Drive Landslide Stabilizations design-build (RFP 275X901191, proposals due October 23, 2026). Seismic healthcare facility upgrades, stormwater and sewer infrastructure renewal, and retaining wall and slope stabilization dominate recent solicitations across California, Florida, Georgia, and the Pacific Northwest; prequalification is mandatory at Santa Clara County and increasingly common across larger public works; prevailing wage compliance, Davis-Bacon Act provisions, and federal labor standards feature prominently in CDBG-funded and healthcare projects.
