NIGP 97104: Boat Dock/Marina Space, Rental or Lease

NIGP 97104 Boat Dock/Marina Space, Rental Or Lease is an Item code covering the construction, improvement, and operational management of public and municipal boat docks, launch facilities, and marinas. State and local governments currently solicit under this code for three distinct scopes: new dock and boathouse construction for government marine operations (police, parks, and recreation); recreational kayak launch and boat ramp improvements serving public waterway access; and outsourced operational management of existing public marina facilities. The issuing bodies span municipalities (cities of New Smyrna Beach, Stonecrest, and Detroit), county governments (Clay County and Collier County), and state agencies (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department). Activity reflects both capital projects (construction and rehabilitation of facilities) and service contracts (multi-year marina management with facilities maintenance, marketing, and staffing).

Recent opportunities show geographic concentration in Florida and the Southeast, with secondary activity in Texas and the Midwest. The City of New Smyrna Beach issued an ITB (solicitation 0926PD, response deadline June 1, 2026) for construction of a police boathouse on the Indian River North with timber dock, boat lift, and utilities; the project is funded by the Florida Inland Navigation District and subject to Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements and federal environmental permits. The City of Stonecrest, Georgia issued an ITB (CITB-0011-26, response deadline August 4, 2026) for a kayak launch dock and parking lot improvements at Everett Park on South River, with mandatory pre-bid and site visit on July 8, 2026. Collier County issued an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN 25-8613R, response deadline July 10, 2026) for outsourced management of four county-owned marinas across combined FY25 revenues of $2.138 million, with local-vendor and certified WBE/MBE preferences applied. The City of Detroit issued an RFP (#545584, response deadline June 15, 2026) for both operations and capital development of Riverside Marina (389 slips) and Erma Henderson Marina (247 slips, closed since 2019), with a twenty-year contract term and Detroit-based business equalization credits of one to five percent available. Texas Parks and Wildlife Department issued an RFI (response deadline July 10, 2026) for marina operations market research at Cooper State Park on Jim Chapman Lake in advance of a formal RFP.
