The contract will be awarded as a firm-fixed-price Invitation for Bid (IFB) to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with award criteria focused on price competitiveness rather than technical factors. Key contract requirements include Davis-Bacon wage compliance, Buy American construction materials provisions, performance and payment bonds equal to 100 percent of the contract award price, a 90-day price firm period, and full compliance with AWWA standards, Arkansas Department of Health requirements, and comprehensive technical specifications for all materials and construction methodologies.

No incumbent contractor information is provided in the solicitation documents. The estimated project value ranges between $1 million and $2 million, with a period of performance of 160 days after award and required completion no later than September 30, 2026.
