NOTICE FOR REQUESTS OF
EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
SUMMARY: The Arkansas Board of Corrections and the Arkansas Department of Corrections request interested communities to submit an Expression of Interest to donate land for the construction of a new maximum-security facility to house approximately 1,000 inmates within the Division of Correction. Proposals will be evaluated by the Department of Corrections and submitted to the Board of Corrections for selection.
SPECIFICATIONS: The desired property is a square and generally flat land consisting of approximately 400 acres that is bordered on at least one side by a paved public roadway in an area that is not prone to flooding nor at a significant risk for earthquakes. In addition, the site should be in close proximity to major medical resources such as a hospital with an emergency department, adequate utilities for gas, electricity, water, and sewage, and located in a relatively populated area for staff recruitment considerations. Lastly, the selected location cannot be within sixty miles of an existing correctional facility operated by either the Division of Correction or the Division of Community Correction.
BENEFIT TO COMMUNITY: The new facility will significantly benefit the local economy. It is projected to employ 370 individuals with an annual payroll of approximately $21,000,000. The facility will have an estimated operational budget of approximately $2,000,000.
SUBMISSIONS OF PROPOSALS: Communities interested in submitting a proposed site are directed to contact the Department of Corrections at DOC.Facility.Site@arkansas.gov to request a site evaluation questionnaire. Completed questionnaires must be received by the Department of Corrections no later than February 9, 2023.
Seven (7) copies of completed questionnaires and supporting materials must be mailed to the following address:
