NIGP 91355: Construction, Tunnel

NIGP 91355 Construction, Tunnel is an Item code that covers narrow, specialized infrastructure projects — but state and local governments buying under this code are actually procuring wide-ranging construction work on utilities, drainage systems, facilities, and civil infrastructure. Recent solicitations show municipal and county buyers working on water main replacements, sewer rehabilitation, stormwater improvements, bridge replacements, roadway resurfacing, park and trail development, seismic facility upgrades, and building renovations. The mix of issuing bodies is diverse: municipalities (City of DeBary, City of Dallas, City of Cibolo), counties (Santa Clara County, Orange County, Broward County, Marion County, Wayne County, Salt Lake County), school districts (Bibb County Public Schools, Hillsborough County Public Schools), special districts (Sanitation District No. 2-3, Atlanta Beltline Inc.), and state departments (California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection). Santa Clara County emerges as a repeat buyer, with multiple seismic compliance and facility upgrade projects listed. Geographic spread spans the full country: strong recent activity in California (Santa Clara County, Orange County, CAL FIRE infrastructure), Florida (multiple counties and municipalities), Texas (Dallas, Cibolo, Williamson County), Georgia (Atlanta Beltline, Columbus, DeKalb County), and states including Colorado, Michigan, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and Arizona. Work sizes range from $90,000 park irrigation projects to $7 million security and facility upgrades.

Representative recent opportunities include the City of DeBary's Rob Sullivan Park Irrigation Improvements (Bid 03-15, ITB, $90,000 project cost, mandatory pre-bid March 25, 2015, bids due April 10, 2015); Santa Clara County's SCVMC Building M OR Renovation (design-bid-build, bids due December 3, 2026); CAL FIRE's Fresno Air Attack Base Infrastructure Improvements (9TSC0108, IFB, $5.192 million state estimate, bids due December 1, 2026, mandatory pre-bid site visit October 6, 2025); Broward County's Pine Island Road Capacity Expansion (TRN2131938C1, ITB, 600-day substantial completion schedule, June 2, 2026 bid deadline); and Orange County's emergency bridge replacement projects (Y26-742, $6.202 million estimated cost, July 7, 2026 deadline). Set-asides and preferences appear selectively: CAL FIRE applies five percent small-business preference and mandatory three percent DVBE participation; Santa Clara County's hospital seismic projects use prequalification gates; Santa Clara County's stormwater work includes ten percent disadvantaged-business participation goal; Dallas applies SBE subcontracting goals; and Broward County mandates 30 percent County Business Enterprise participation. Activity is current and ongoing, with multiple October and December 2026 deadlines indicating active pursuit phase now.
