The Department of Defense, specifically the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) – Little Rock District, is preparing to solicit bids for the Pine Bluff Arsenal Waterline Replacement project. This project involves the replacement of the outdated South Side Waterline System, which consists primarily of asbestos cement and cast-iron pipes that have been in service since the 1940s and 1950s, with a new system designed to meet current domestic and fire demand standards. The procurement is significant as it ensures the continued operation of water supply facilities critical to the mission of the Pine Bluff Arsenal, with an estimated contract value subject to the small business size standard of $45 million. Interested contractors should note that the solicitation is expected to be issued around May 2, 2025, with proposals due by August 15, 2025; for further inquiries, contact Marcus D. Mitchell at marcus.d.mitchell@usace.army.mil or Deborah Oswalt at Deborah.Oswalt@usace.army.mil.
