NIGP 91361: Construction, Vertical, Concrete, Pour-in-Place, Form/Place/Finish

NIGP 91361 Construction, Vertical, Concrete, Pour-In-Place, Form/Place/Finish is an Item code covering concrete placement, finishing, and associated structural concrete work that state and local governments solicit for infrastructure, facility, and utility projects. Recent opportunities show state and local buyers engaging concrete contractors for driveway and parking lot repairs, sidewalk construction and replacement, bridge replacement foundations, taxilane and apron rehabilitation, utility infrastructure work, and site-specific concrete restoration—work ranging from modest single-location repairs to multi-million-dollar transportation and flood-control projects. The issuing-body mix spans municipal departments (city public works, planning, and engineering divisions), county commissions and flood control districts, water authorities, transit systems, school districts, state universities, and special authorities managing airports and parks. Georgia leads recent activity with concrete driveways, boat ramp renovation, and sewer main replacement contracts, followed by Florida with sidewalk, bridge, and facility projects and Texas with utility relocation and watershed repairs. Representative recent opportunities include the City of Rome, Georgia fire station concrete driveway repair (IFB, due August 11, 2026); Coffee County, Georgia culvert replacement with nine triple 6×6×34-foot units (sealed bid, due July 31, 2026); City of Gallup, New Mexico whole block Ciniza Drive reconstruction with concrete box culvert, sidewalks, curbs, and asphalt ($1.3 million engineer's estimate, ITB, due July 28, 2026); Orange County, Florida Ortman Drive and West Jackson Street sidewalk improvements ($2.5 million, sealed bid, due July 30, 2026); and Hillsborough County, Florida traffic signal installation with roadway widening and resurfacing ($2.58 million, sealed bid, due August 5, 2026). Activity is geographically dispersed across the Southeast, Mid-Atlantic, Southwest, and West Coast with no single region dominating.

The code sees consistent year-round procurement activity with moderate-to-large contract values and typical state and local procurement timelines. Prevailing wage requirements, bonding obligations (bid bonds at 5–10 percent, performance and payment bonds at 100 percent of contract value), and Davis-Bacon wage compliance appear frequently on federally funded projects. Many opportunities require contractor licenses (Georgia utility contractor, Florida general or marine contractor, California Class A or specialty licenses) and FDOT or state DOT prequalification where applicable. Evaluation typically favors lowest responsive and responsible bid, though some jurisdictions (notably Henry County, Georgia and City of Tucson) incorporate best-value or qualifications-based selection. DBE, MBE, WBE, and local vendor preference scoring are common on federal-aid projects and some county/municipal work. Set-asides and participation goals range from 7–30 percent depending on funding source and jurisdiction. Liquidated damages for delay run from $250–$3,500 per day depending on project scale and complexity. This code remains active for contractors with concrete placement credentials and ability to navigate prevailing wage, bonding, and often-complex site coordination requirements in urban and utility settings.
