NIGP 92544: General Construction: Management, Scheduling, Cost Estimation - Engineering

NIGP 92544 General Construction: Management, Scheduling, Cost Estimation - Engineering is an Item code under which state and local governments procure independent cost estimating, construction management at risk (CMAR), construction engineering and inspection (CEI), and project scheduling services for capital projects ranging from school modernizations to transportation infrastructure and public facilities. Work solicited under this code spans preconstruction cost validation and constructability reviews, full-cycle construction phase administration including materials testing and quality assurance, schedule development and risk assessment, and closeout services including punch-list development and final inspections. Georgia Department of Transportation, school districts in Georgia, Michigan, and Colorado, county departments in Georgia and Florida, municipal public works departments, and state financing and construction authorities are the primary issuing bodies. Recent opportunities reflect a mix of school facility modernizations (Stoneview Elementary School in DeKalb County, Georgia; Turner Middle School and Dorsett Shoals Elementary in Douglas County, Georgia; Athens High School in Troy, Michigan), transportation and drainage projects (stormwater improvements in Fort Myers and Orlando; roadway rehabilitation in Monroe County, Florida and Escambia County, Florida), and public buildings (transitional centers in Warner Robins and Savannah, Georgia; fire stations in Brevard County, Florida and Merritt Island, Florida). Scope includes both single-award and multi-firm procurements, with contract structures ranging from lump-sum professional fees to time-and-materials rates with negotiated markups.

Recent activity concentrates in Georgia, Florida, Michigan, and Colorado. Representative opportunities include Georgia Department of Transportation's RFQ for Independent Cost Estimator services for the I-285 East Express Lanes Design-Build-Finance-Operate-Maintain project (statements due November 16, 2026), DeKalb County School District's RFQ for CMAR services for the $30 million Stoneview Elementary School Modernization (proposals due November 5, 2026), City of Fort Myers' RFQ for comprehensive professional services addressing First Street stormwater drainage improvements under FEMA Hazard Mitigation Grant Program funding (qualifications due October 30, 2026), Hillsborough County Capital Programs Department's request for CEI services on CDBG-DR projects with an estimated three-year value of $5 million (proposals due October 29, 2026), and Troy School District's sealed bid for the Athens High School Addition including technology infrastructure integration (bids due October 16, 2026, with four addenda issued). Georgia State Financing and Investment Commission procurements for construction management at risk services on transitional centers represent repeat activity in the code, as do multi-year CEI panels in Florida counties serving CDBG-DR and capital improvement programs. Competition remains open to qualified licensed professionals; federal funding triggers Davis-Bacon prevailing wage, debarment, E-Verify, and conflict-of-interest compliance requirements across Florida and Georgia procurements.
