2026 RFB-12 Road Striping Materials

Benton County issued a Request for Bid (RFB‑12) to procure painted and thermoplastic road‑striping materials that meet Arkansas Highway and Transportation Department specifications. Bidders were required to submit unit prices for a comprehensive list of pavement‑marking items (continuous center lines, skip lines, edge lines, painted/thermoplastic words, arrows, railroad emblems, and crosswalk/stop‑bar markings) and provide both hard‑copy and electronic copies of their proposals. The bid deadline was March 19 2026, and the contract was ultimately awarded to TIME STRIPING, INC. The solicitation encourages participation from small, minority‑ and women‑owned businesses but does not impose a set‑aside requirement. Evaluation will consider experience, capacity, past performance, and proximity to the project area. The contract is a unit‑price arrangement with tax‑inclusive invoicing, and the County retains rights to cancel with 30‑day notice. • Scope: Supply of painted and thermoplastic road‑marking materials per AHTD specs. • Procurement: Open competition, unit‑price bid, no disclosed contract value. • Awarded to: TIME STRIPING, INC (single‑vendor award).
