NIGP 91831: Construction Consulting

NIGP 91831 Construction Consulting is an Item code that encompasses project management, engineering assessment, design coordination, and construction administration services state and local governments solicit for specific capital projects—operational efficiency reviews, roadway rehabilitation, pavement management programs, building commissioning, and construction manager-at-risk delivery for schools, public facilities, and infrastructure upgrades. The code captures work ranging from feasibility studies and pre-design planning to full construction phase oversight and quality assurance, applied across universities, counties, cities, school districts, and transit authorities. Issuing bodies are geographically dispersed and vary by project type: large state universities and state departments of transportation solicit design standards and specialized engineering services; county governments and municipalities request owner's representatives, CEI services, and design professional services; school districts frequently pursue construction management at-risk for facility renovation and replacement; and special-purpose authorities (transit, parks, beltline organizations) contract for program management and construction oversight. Recent activity shows no single repeat buyer dominating the code, though Florida counties (Sarasota, Seminole, Monroe, Brevard, Hillsborough) appear multiple times across roadway, bridge, and school projects; Georgia entities (state financing commission, state DOT, school districts, Kennesaw State University) are also active.

Representative recent solicitations illustrate the scope: Texas State University issued an RFQ due October 27, 2026, for project management and consulting services to conduct operational efficiency reviews across three university system institutions (RFQ #754-TXST-2027-520-PDC), excluding implementation; Sarasota County issued an IFB due September 23, 2026, for milling and paving of South McCall Road and other South County roads (solicitation #262905MH); Clay County, Florida, issued an RFQ due October 15, 2026, for a comprehensive Pavement Condition Survey and Pavement Management Program for 831 centerline miles of county-maintained roadways, with an anticipated contract value of $200,000 or less (RFQ #2526115); Monroe County, Florida, issued an RFQ due November 24, 2026, for Construction Engineering and Inspection services for the Key Deer Boulevard Roadway Rehabilitation Project (RFQ #652), with FDOT pre-qualification in Work Groups 10.1 and 10.3 as mandatory gates; DeKalb County School District, Georgia, issued an RFQu due November 5, 2026, for Construction Management at Risk services for Stoneview Elementary School Modernization with a $30 million Stated Cost of Limitation (RFQu #27-752-819). Activity is heaviest in Florida and Georgia, with secondary pockets in Texas, Arizona, and the Pacific Northwest; the code reflects sustained investment in K–12 facilities, transportation infrastructure, and higher-education campus planning across state and local budgets.
