The Little Rock Port Authority is soliciting qualified bond counsel to help plan and issue short‑term bonds totaling $5 million for land acquisition at the Port of Little Rock. The selected counsel will provide legal and financial advisory services related to bond structuring, documentation, compliance, and issuance processes. This RFQ seeks firms with proven experience in municipal bond financing, particularly short‑term instruments, and the ability to deliver timely guidance to meet the April 17, 2026 response deadline. • Scope includes feasibility analysis, bond structuring, drafting of official statements, and coordination with underwriters and regulatory bodies. • Counsel must demonstrate prior experience with public‑sector short‑term bond issuances and possess requisite licensure in Arkansas. • Deliverables are expected within a tight timeline to support land‑acquisition financing, with the contract likely concluding shortly after bond issuance.
