The City of Bentonville is soliciting sealed bids for the purchase of a single 2026 or current-year model 4x4 cab and chassis bucket truck equipped with an Altec AT41M/P telescopic aerial device or an equivalent alternative, for use by its Street Department. The solicitation, identified as IFB-26-39, was posted on May 11, 2026, and bids are due by June 11, 2026, at 6:00 PM CST. The vehicle must have a 6.7L Turbo Diesel engine, heavy-duty automatic transmission, a gross vehicle weight rating of 19,500 pounds or more, four-wheel drive, white exterior, vinyl interior, dual alternators, and a PTO provision.

The contract includes mandatory attachments: Vendor Disclosure, Non-Collusion Affidavit (must be notarized), and Specifications, all of which must be submitted with the bid. The City requires certification that the bidder does not participate in the boycott of Israel and must submit a current IRS Form W-9 for tax purposes. Failure to provide any of these documents renders the bid invalid. Award will be made using the Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) method, meaning the lowest responsive and responsible bid that meets all technical requirements will be selected, with non-price factors serving only as pass/fail criteria. Evaluation factors include price, conformance to specifications, quality, delivery time, references, past performance, payment terms, and the best interest of the City, though no numerical weights are assigned. Payment terms require invoices referencing IFB-26-39 to be submitted via email to accountspayable@bentonvillear.com, with payment issued by check within 14 days of receipt. A bid bond equal to 5% of the bid amount is required unless exempt under Arkansas law, and performance and payment bonds are mandatory if the contract value exceeds $50,000. The City reserves the right to terminate the contract if funds become unavailable. All bids must be submitted as sealed hard copies to the City’s Administrative Services
