On-Call Carpentry Service (Re-Bid)

The City of Little Rock is seeking on-call carpentry services through a competitive re-bid process (Project Number 3050) for primary and secondary vendors. The procurement requires contractors to provide comprehensive carpentry work across various municipal facilities, with vendors expected to perform installation, repair, renovation, and finishing services on multiple structures and materials. Qualified vendors must have a minimum staffing requirement of six technicians for the primary contractor and two technicians for the secondary contractor, with all personnel being direct employees. The contract term is initially set for one year, with potential extensions up to six additional one-year periods contingent on mutual written agreement. Bidders must be licensed to work in Little Rock and carry specific insurance coverages, including $1,000,000 in Worker's Compensation, Comprehensive General Liability, Personal Injury, and Property Damage insurance. The bid responses are due on 10/27/2025 at 12:00 PM, and vendors must submit a detailed Statement of Vendor's Qualifications along with at least three recent references. Performance will be evaluated quarterly using a metrics system, with an annual comprehensive review to assess vendor capabilities and service quality.

The solicitation encourages participation from diverse business entities, with specific attention to minority and women-owned businesses as defined by Arkansas state acts. The Affidavit of Joint Venture form provides a structured mechanism for businesses to collaborate, particularly highlighting opportunities for minority and women-owned enterprises to partner in contract submissions. Vendors must comply with several state-mandated certifications, including restrictions on contracts involving Israel boycotts, illegal immigrant employment, and boycotts of energy, fossil fuel, firearms, and ammunition industries. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement is structured with hourly rate pricing, with no additional compensation for overtime. Out-of-state businesses are required to obtain a city business license for the duration of their contract if awarded, ensuring local economic participation and compliance. The City of Little Rock reserves the right to terminate agreements with 15 days' notice and maintains strict compliance standards, including non-discrimination policies and adherence to Title VI of the Civil Rights Act.
