The City of Rogers is soliciting Statements of Qualifications (SOQ) under solicitation number 2026-SOQ-004 for Natural Channel Design services to restore approximately 4,200 linear feet of stream in an urban setting. The scope of work includes engineering, plan design, hydrologic and hydraulic modeling, and the procurement of all necessary local, state, and federal regulatory permits, including potential Letter of Map Revision submissions to FEMA.

Key milestones include the completion and approval of construction plans and permit applications by May 1, 2027, with final construction completion targeted for December 31, 2027. Selection is based on a ranking of qualifications rather than price, with the highest-ranked firm invited to negotiate a contract. Evaluation criteria focus on professional staff expertise, past performance, understanding of the scope, and the quality of the work plan. Interested firms must submit a PDF via OpenGov or hard copy to Colt Craig by November 10, 2026. Submissions are limited to 25 pages and must include Standard Form 330 Part II, an Equal Employment Opportunity policy, the Arkansas DFA Illegal Immigrant Contractor Disclosure Form, and EPA certifications regarding debarment and lobbying for contracts exceeding 100,000 dollars.
