CITY COUNCIL MEMO
2026-1233
Staff recommend award of Bid #26-29 and authorization of a contract with N.E.C., Inc. in the amount of
$116,397.50 for construction of bus stop concrete pads at 21 Razorback Transit and Ozark Regional Transit
stop locations, as directed by the City, and approval of a $50,000 contingency.
BACKGROUND:
In 2025, the Northwest Arkansas Planning Commission (NWARPC) announced a 1:1 matching grant
opportunity to fund transit stop enhancements across the region. In June 2025, Mayor Rawn signed a letter
committing the City to collaborate with Ozark Regional Transit and Razorback Transit to provide the required
local match.
In July 2025, NWARPC awarded the City of Fayetteville a grant in the amount of $203,317.25. To meet the 1
match requirement, Ozark Regional Transit and Razorback Transit have each committed $50,829.30, for a
combined total of $101,658.60, with the City contributing the remaining $101,658.65.
DISCUSSION:
The grant requires that a minimum of 17 stops be improved by September 30, 2026. This contract allows the
City to exceed that requirement while advancing the goal of providing accessible loading platforms, seating,
and shelters at all transit stops in Fayetteville.
Bid pricing came in below the engineer's estimate. As a result, a $50,000 contingency is included to provide
flexibility to improve additional stop locations at current bid prices.
BUDGET/STAFF IMPACT:
Sufficient funding to award the bid and contingency is available through the grant.

furnished. Contractor further warrants all Work shall be free from material defects not intrinsic in the
design or materials required in the Contract Documents. Contractor's warranty does not include remedies
for defects or damages caused by normal wear and tear during normal usage beyond the warranty
period, use for a purpose for which the Project was not intended, improper or insufficient maintenance,
modifications performed by the City or others, or abuse. Contractor's warranty shall commence on the
Date of Final Completion of the Project.
b. To the extent products, equipment, systems, or materials incorporated in the Work are specified and
purchased by the City, they shall be covered exclusively by the warranty of the manufacturer. There are
no warranties which extend beyond the description on the face of any such warranty. For such
incorporated items, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED INCLUDING THE WARRANTY OF

DISCLAIMED.
c. Contractor shall obtain from its Subcontractors and Suppliers any special or extended warranties required
by the Contract Documents. Contractor's liability for such warranties shall be limited to the one-year
correction period, as further defined in this Agreement. After that period Contractor shall provide full and
comprehensive assistance to the City in enforcing the obligations of Subcontractors or Suppliers for such
extended warranties.
d. Correction of Work:
i. If before Substantial Completion or within two -years after the date of Final Completion of the
Work any Defective Work is found, City shall promptly notify Contractor in writing. Unless City
provides written acceptance of the condition, Contractor shall promptly correct the Defective
Work at its own cost and time and bear the expense of additional services required for correction
of any Defective Work for which it is responsible. If within the two-year correction period City
discovers and does not promptly notify Contractor or give Contractor an opportunity to test or
correct Defective Work as reasonably requested by Contractor, City waives Contractor's
obligation to correct that Defective Work as well as City's right to claim a breach of the warranty
with respect to that Defective Work.
If Contractor fails to correct Defective Work within a reasonable time after receipt of written
notice from City before final payment, City may correct it in accordance with Owner's right to
carry out the Work. In such case, an appropriate Change Order shall be issued deducting the cost
of correcting the Defective Work from payments then or thereafter due Contractor. If payments

the two-year correction period shall be determined by the Law. If, after the two-year correction
period but before the applicable limitation period has expired, City discovers any Work which City
considers Defective Work, City shall, unless the Defective Work requires emergency correction,
promptly notify Contractor and allow Contractor an opportunity to correct the Work if Contractor
elects to do so. If Contractor elects to correct the Work, it shall provide written notice of such
CONTRACT: Bid 26-29, Construction — Bus Stop Concrete Pads
Page 6 of 20
City of Fayetteville, AR
intent within fourteen (14) Days of its receipt of notice from City and shall complete the
correction of Work within a mutually agreed timeframe. If Contractor does not elect to correct
the Work, City may have the Work corrected by itself or Others, and, if City intends to seek
recovery of those costs from Contractor, City shall promptly provide Contractor with an
accounting of the actual correction costs.
iv. If Contractor's correction or removal of Defective Work causes damage to or destroys other
completed or partially completed work or existing building, Contractor shall be responsible for
the cost of correcting the destroyed or damaged property.
v. The two-year period for correction of Defective Work does not constitute a limitation period with
respect to the enforcement of Contractor's other obligations under the Contract Documents.
vi. Before final payment, at City option and with Contractor's agreement, City may elect to accept
Defective Work rather than require its removal and correction. In such cases the contract shall be
equitably adjusted for any diminution in the value, as determined by City, of the Project caused
by such Defective Work via formal written change order.
8. Safety of Persons and Property
a. SAFETY PROGRAMS: Contractor holds overall responsibility for safety programs. However, such obligation
does not relieve Subcontractors of their safety responsibilities and to comply with the Law. Contractor
shall prevent against injury, loss, or damage to persons or property by taking reasonable steps to protect:
(a) its employees and other persons at the Worksite; (b) materials and equipment stored at onsite or
offsite locations for use in performing the Work; and (c) property located at the Worksite and adjacent to
work areas, whether or not the property is part of the Worksite.

employ as its safety representative. Unless otherwise identified by Contractor in writing to City,
Contractor's project superintendent shall serve as its safety representative. Contractor shall report
promptly in writing all recordable accidents and injuries occurring at the Worksite. When Contractor is
required to file an accident report with a public authority, Contractor shall furnish a copy of the report to
City.
c. Contractor shall provide City with copies of all notices required of Contractor by the Law, Contractor's
safety program shall comply with the requirements of governmental and quasi -governmental authorities
having jurisdiction.
i. Damage or loss not insured under property insurance that may arise from the Work, to the extent
caused by negligent or intentionally wrongful acts or omissions of Contractor, or anyone for
whose acts Contractor may be liable, shall be promptly remedied by Contractor.
d. If City deems any part of the Work or Worksite unsafe, City, without assuming responsibility for
Contractor's safety program, may require Contractor to stop performance of the Work, take corrective
measures satisfactory to City. If Contractor does not adopt corrective measures, City may perform them
and deduct their cost from the GMP. Contractor agrees to make no claim for damages, or an increase in
the GMP, or for a change in the Dates of Substantial or Final Completion based on Contractor's
compliance with City's reasonable request.
9. Subcontracts:
a. BINDING OF SUBCONTRACTORS AND SUPPLIERS: Contractor agrees to bind every Subcontractor and
Supplier and require every Subcontractor to so bind its subcontractors and significant supplier, to the
