ARRC requires sealed bids to be submitted by February 12, 2025, at 3:00 PM local time, with a non-mandatory pre-bid conference and site visit scheduled for February 4th, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

Contractors must provide NCTI approved master technicians or ARRC approved equivalent certification. While ARRC has a race-neutral DBE Program with no specific contract goals, they aim for an overall 4.0% DBE participation for fiscal years 2025-2027. Questions must be submitted in writing by March 3rd to the designated contact, C. Lee Thompson.
