About this opportunity

The City of Little Rock is conducting a Request for Information (RFI) for the redevelopment of the Booker Arts Magnet property located at 2016 Barber Street in Little Rock, Arkansas. This procurement seeks comprehensive input from interested parties, firms, and vendors regarding potential solicitation formats and requirements for repurposing the former school site. The primary objective is to develop future solicitations that enable public-private partnerships or facilitate the sale of the underlying real estate while preserving the property's historic character. The RFI is scheduled for inquiry on November 3, 2025, with questions due by November 17, 2025, and responses required to be submitted through the e-Procurement Portal by November 24, 2025. The city may potentially host an optional RFI Forum to discuss feasible solutions and recommendations for future development opportunities. Respondents are advised that this RFI carries no cost or selection component and provides no competitive advantage or disadvantage for potential future solicitations.

The RFI does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. The property is currently owned by the City of Little Rock and was previously leased to the Little Rock School District, which constructed and owned the Booker Arts Magnet School. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are mentioned in the documentation. The city reserves complete discretion to cancel the RFI, modify its terms, or proceed with discussions with any respondents. No compensation will be provided to parties for submitting information, and all response-related costs will be borne by the respondents. While no specific budget range is outlined, the document suggests the city is seeking creative and comprehensive approaches to redeveloping the property that maintain its historical significance while providing a viable new purpose for the site.
