The City of Little Rock Public Works Department is seeking a qualified and licensed contractor to provide aggregate hauling services for its Solid Waste Division through an Invitation to Bid (ITB). The primary deliverable involves hauling Base Aggregate SB-2, B-stone, and soil for covering and filling activities, with a requirement for up to five 18-ton tri-axle dump trucks operating Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Vendor qualifications include holding a valid Pulaski County Hauling Permit, maintaining state-required workers' compensation insurance, and carrying comprehensive general liability insurance of one million dollars, with the City named as an additional insured. Vendors must also provide three satisfactory performance references for similar services and demonstrate the ability to respond to hauling requests within twenty-four hours. Key procurement dates include a vendor questions deadline of January 21, 2026, and bid submissions due by January 26, 2026, at 12:00 p.m. Central Time via the LRPROCURE Bonfire portal, with a virtual bid opening meeting scheduled for the same day via Microsoft Teams.
The contract opportunity includes specific set-aside provisions and certification requirements that may restrict potential bidders. Contractors must complete a Combined Certifications for Contracting form, which includes mandatory certifications based on contract value thresholds: contracts over $1,000 require certification of non-boycott of Israel, contracts over $25,000 mandate certification of no employment of illegal immigrants, and contracts over $75,000 require certification of non-boycott of specific industries. The City encourages minority and women-owned business participation, with classifications defined by Arkansas state law. The contract will be awarded on an all-or-none basis to the lowest qualified bidder, with a one-year term and potential extensions for up to two additional one-year periods. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the City typically orders a minimum of 400 tons per request, and vendor pricing must remain valid for ninety days following the bid opening. Monthly vendor update meetings will be required, with performance metrics tracked quarterly by the Public Works Department.
