OpportunityBeaver Water District presented its 2023 Water Master Plan, identifying rapid demand growth and the need for major capital investments in treatment, storage, and pumping infrastructure. A key project is an 80 million gallons per day plant expansion in Lowell that will increase water transmission capacity by 57 percent, with an estimated cost of 354 million and completion targeted for early 2029. The District anticipates more than 700 million in capital investment over the next decade and plans to increase rates over the next five years based on a rate study by Carollo using the 2023 Black & Veatch plan. No specific design or construction vendors were named for the Lowell expansion, indicating that detailed planning, design, and delivery strategies are still being shaped—creating significant opportunities for engineering, construction, controls, and program management firms to support the plant expansion and associated regional water infrastructure upgrades.Northwest Arkansas Regional Planning Commission · Aug 28, 2024$354,000,000OpportunityVBMU’s long-range capital plans outline about $79.2 million in water projects, $64 million in sewer projects, and over $1.1 million in equipment replacements over the next decade-plus. Items include meter replacements, distribution upgrades, master plans, CAO-driven SSES work, WWTP improvements, and multiple pump station and line projects. These are not yet individually procured but define a strong pipeline of future engineering, construction, equipment, and technology buys.City of Van Buren · Apr 27, 2026$147,374,014OpportunityMountain Home authorized up to $20,000,000 in 2026 water and sewer revenue improvement bonds to fund additions and improvements to its water distribution system. The project includes a new pump station, new water distribution main, and preparation work for a future water storage facility, focused on the west and southwest parts of the city. Design, construction, and equipment vendors in water infrastructure, controls, storage, and related services should track how these bond proceeds will be programmed and which components may still need external support.City of Mountain Home · Feb 19, 2026$20,000,000OpportunityAubrey approved the preliminary Service and Assessment Plan for the Palomino Public Improvement District, a 40-acre, 300-lot subdivision that will need roads, water, sewer, drainage, landscaping, and related soft costs. The plan budgets about $9.4M for physical improvements and $10.5M total including issuance and admin, funded via assessments and a future reimbursement agreement/bonds. No construction contractors are named yet, so civil, utility, landscaping, and project management vendors can still influence design, phasing, and implementation as the City moves from plan to procurement.Town of Aubrey · Jul 9, 2026$10,485,26877 more pre-RFPs matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →

Recent projects and awards in Arkansas

Contract awards and project updates from public meetings, largest and newest first.

Summit is awarding Sealcrete Contracting a $3,275,750 contract to repair and provide preventative maintenance for the Tier Garage parking structure. Work includes major structural concrete repairs, drainage upgrades, waterproofing systems, joint and parapet work, stair and facade repairs, and line striping. This is a multi-year capital rehab funded from 2025–2026 parking capital accounts and will create follow-on needs for inspection, coatings, signage, controls, and future garage work.Contract Award · City of Summit · Arkansas · Jul 7, 2026$3,275,750Jonesboro selected Atlas Asphalt Inc. as low bidder for the 2026 asphalt milling and overlays on selected city streets, Job No. 2026:03. The committee recommended awarding a roughly $1,000,000 contract, with the next bid at about $2,996,329. This sets the incumbent for street resurfacing in 2026; vendors can watch for trucking, materials supply, striping, or future-year paving packages once this annual cycle nears completion.Contract Award · Jonesboro Urban Renewal HA · Craighead County · Jul 7, 2026$1,000,000Jonesboro plans to contract with Crabtree & Son Construction for the Hwy. 91 sidewalk and lane reconfiguration project, Job No. 2026:10. Crabtree bid $1,337,163.25, under competing bids from White River Materials and Meadows Construction, for turn lane work and a side path from North Caraway to east of A-State property. This defines the prime for a sizable multimodal corridor upgrade; design, traffic engineering, and landscape or lighting vendors can pursue support or future phases along this corridor.Contract Award · Jonesboro Urban Renewal HA · Craighead County · Jul 7, 2026$1,337,163The city plans major work at the Millsap Road and College Avenue intersection and North Hemlock Avenue, funded in part by a $3.6 million Surface Transportation Block Grant. Council is set to award Bid 26-37 to APAC-Central for $3.57 million plus a $357,000 contingency and approve related budget actions. Contractors and engineering firms should see this as a multi-year corridor improvement with potential follow-on work, traffic technology, and streetscape needs beyond the initial award.Contract Award · Fayetteville Airport Commission · Jackson County · Jul 7, 2026$3,925,811Columbus is authorizing a $1,066,000 tax increment revenue bond to reimburse Columbus Realty Holdings, LLC for the completed B&R Stores (Super Saver) redevelopment. The project includes a new grocery store and fuel center on an expanded footprint and demolition of the existing store within a designated blighted area. The bond is repaid from 2025+ incremental property taxes through 2040, with the city treasurer acting as paying agent. This confirms long-term TIF-backed funding and an active commercial site that may need ongoing facility, IT, and service vendors.Contract Award · City of Sparkman · Arkansas · Jul 6, 2026$1,066,000Lewisville plans to award construction of the DCTA A-train Rail Trail Connection Segment A to Garret Shields Infrastructure for $2.24 million, funded largely by a TxDOT CMAQ grant and DCTA programs. Design is complete and TxDOT approvals are in place, with this contract covering the final trail segment from Hebron Station to the Carrollton city line. This is decided work, but it signals ongoing rail trail, multimodal, and active transportation projects where construction subs, materials, signaling, and consulting support may still be needed.Contract Award · City of Lewisville · Arkansas · Jul 6, 2026$2,240,244241 more Arkansas projects matched to you in a free digestGet matches free →
