The Project generally includes roadway, roundabout, drainage, utility, traffic, and corridor improvements along East Battlefield Boulevard, East Central Avenue, SE Moberly Lane, Water Tower Road, and selected adjacent roadway connections in Bentonville, Arkansas. The Project is currently organized into multiple improvement packages.

Construction services may subsequently be authorized by the City. This procurement is a qualifications-based selection . SOQs will be evaluated based on the respondent's relevant heavy civil, roadway, and utility experience; CMAR and preconstruction experience and past performance; qualifications and availability of key personnel; project-specific approach; constructability, phasing, and risk-management capabilities; local and regional capability; safety record; financial strength; bonding capacity; and references. The City reserves the right to conduct interviews or make a selection based upon the SOQs received.
