The Benton County Road Department issued a Request for Bid (RFB‑03) for the annual supply of various concrete classes, Portland cement, and related additives to support road construction and maintenance throughout the county. The solicitation is open‑competition, allowing multiple vendors to submit bids, though the archived award shows a single vendor, TUNE CONCRETE, was selected. Bids were required to be submitted both electronically (CD/USB) and as a hard‑copy sealed envelope by 2 pm CST on February 9, 2023. The contract is non‑exclusive, may be canceled with 30‑day notice, and includes standard conflict‑of‑interest, indemnification, and compliance provisions. • Supplies include Class A, B, S, M concrete, straight Portland cement, and optional items (hot water, ice, fiber‑mesh, super‑plasticizer, standby time, etc.) meeting AR DOT specifications. • Delivery must be possible to any location within Benton County; pricing is unit‑based and tax‑inclusive. • The solicitation encourages participation of small, minority, and women‑owned businesses, but no set‑aside restrictions are noted. • Vendor must provide references, conflict‑of‑interest disclosures, and an authorized signature; all costs of bid preparation are borne by the bidder.
