NIGP 91357: Construction, Vaulted Sidewalk

NIGP 91357 Construction, Vaulted Sidewalk is an Item code encompassing concrete and asphalt sidewalk construction, repair, and replacement work that state and local governments solicit regularly across municipal and county jurisdictions. State and local agencies buying under this code include cities, counties, and special-purpose authorities—most recently the City of Rome, Georgia; Greenville County, South Carolina; Orange County, Florida; the City of Gainesville, Florida; and municipalities in Georgia, Kansas, Texas, and Connecticut. The work spans new sidewalk installation (typically 5- to 6-foot-wide concrete pads, 4 to 6 inches thick), removal and replacement of damaged sections, ADA-compliant curb ramps and detectable warnings, driveway and apron reconstruction, drainage improvements, erosion control, and site restoration. Representative recent opportunities include Greenville County's IFB for East Riverside Park stormwater improvements with pervious pavers and bioretention (bid due June 12, 2026); Orange County, Florida's IFB for infrastructure repair and replacement, a five-year indefinite-quantity contract with $5.28 million annual cost and $26.41 million total (bids due August 18, 2026); and the City of Sandy Springs' ITB for Lake Forrest Sidewalk Phase II, approximately 3,300 linear feet of new sidewalk with landscape curb and gutter (bids due August 7, 2026).

Geographic activity concentrates in Florida, Georgia, Texas, and South Carolina, with secondary activity in Connecticut, Kansas, and California. Florida agencies—Orange County, the City of Destin, Okaloosa County, the City of Fort Myers, and others—account for the largest share of recent postings, reflecting sustained municipal investment in pedestrian infrastructure and Safe Routes to School projects. Issuing bodies range from county commissions and municipal public-works departments to school districts and transit-connected authorities; Georgia cities (Rome, Union City, Sandy Springs, Douglasville, Fairburn, Palmetto, Marietta) show consistent activity through local capital budgets and TSPLOST-funded programs. Contract values vary widely: modest repairs under $200,000 (Rome fire station driveway, individual sidewalk segments) to multi-phase projects exceeding $5 million (Orange County's five-year term contract). Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, E-Verify, performance and payment bonds, and 5–10 percent bid bonds are standard across federally or state-funded work. Pre-bid meetings (often non-mandatory via Teams or in-person) and questions deadlines typically fall 10–14 days before bid opening. No shortage of activity is evident; sidewalk and pedestrian infrastructure procurement remains consistent across municipalities, driven by ADA compliance mandates, grant programs (Safe Routes to School, Local Agency Program, CDBG), and transportation surtax initiatives.
