The 2020 Benton County Guardrail Materials Bid is an open, sealed‑envelope competitive solicitation for the annual supply of guardrail components that meet Arkansas Highway Department specifications. The county seeks qualified vendors with at least two years of relevant experience to provide a range of steel guardrail sections, posts, terminals, and associated hardware, pricing each item per linear foot or each as appropriate. Bids were required to be submitted in hard copy and electronic format by January 14, 2020, and the award was later recorded as having gone to Custom Pavement Maintenance & Safety. The solicitation emphasizes small‑business participation but does not set aside the contract. Evaluation will consider technical competence, capacity, past performance, and proximity. No contract value or term is disclosed in the public documents.
