This contract concerns the repair of potholes on Benton County roads on a unit‑price basis. The County limited the total authorized funding to $50,000 and required bidders to submit both a hard‑copy sealed envelope and an electronic copy. Two mix options (hot‑mix asphalt or high‑performance cold‑mix) were offered, with the County selecting the mix after evaluating bids. The award went to Hutchens Construction Co. The solicitation emphasized experience, capacity, past performance, and local familiarity, and required a one‑year warranty on all repairs. No oral clarifications were permitted and all communications were to be in writing.
