Lonoke County Proposed Roadway - Concrete Package

Lonoke County, Arkansas is soliciting unit-price bids for sidewalks, curb and gutter segments, and traffic islands along a newly built roadway and custom roundabout under Project No. 23-5771, with bids due November 9, 2026 at 10:30 a.m. local time. The county encourages small, minority, and women business enterprises to bid and encourages general contractors to consider these groups when subcontracting, citing Arkansas Code Ann. 22-9-203. The source frames this as encouragement, not a set-aside or preference.

The scope is concrete infrastructure only, as heavy civil earthwork and grading are already complete. All work must comply with applicable federal, state, county, and local laws, ordinances, regulations, and minimum wage requirements.

Each bid must be submitted on the prescribed form and accompanied by a certified check or bid bond on the prescribed form, payable to Lonoke County, in an amount not less than 5 percent of the amount bid. Bid documents are available for a $22 fee from the MCE online plan room at http://www.mce.us.com using Quest Project Number 10421294. Prime bidders must download documents from that plan room to appear on the Plan Holders List and receive addenda.

Bids will be delivered to the Lonoke County Courthouse, 301 North Center Street, Lonoke, Arkansas 72086, and opened publicly immediately after the closing time. The county reserves the right to reject bids with material omissions, irregularities, or obviously unbalanced unit prices, and any nonconforming bid. It may waive irregularities, choose the most qualified bidder, and postpone award for a period not to exceed 90 days from the bid opening date.

The jurisdiction field in the record lists Lee County (FIPS 05077), while the notice identifies Lonoke County as the issuing body.
