RFP-26-69 Eastside Hangar Development Phase II

The City of Bentonville, Arkansas, is soliciting proposals under RFP-26-69 for the construction of a hangar at the Bentonville Municipal Airport, located at 2510 SW Aviation St. The project involves developing the parcel currently occupied by the Fuel Farm, contingent upon the successful relocation of that facility. The selected proposer must obtain plan approval from the Planning Department and the Airport Advisory Board and execute a lease and development agreement. The term and cost of the agreement will be based on the level of investment and the nature of the aeronautical activities proposed, with a preference for commercial aeronautical uses. Proposals are due by October 6, 2026, at 4:00 PM CST, and can be submitted digitally via the Beacon Bid portal or physically in a sealed package. Evaluation is based on a point system focusing on the completeness of the response, qualifications and experience of personnel, the quality of the development concept, the value of services offered, and the proposed financial value in terms of rents. Awarding is based on the best interest of the City rather than the lowest cost. Key requirements include a notarized non-collusion affidavit, certification against the boycott of Israel for contracts over 1,000 dollars, and evidence of financial and managerial capability. The successful contractor must coordinate all activities with the Airport Manager to ensure safety and minimize operational disruptions.
