Vendor Registration

Our vendor portal has changed! The Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority has partnered with Pulaski County, Central Arkansas Water, the City of Conway, the City of Helena-West Helena, and the Little Rock Convention & Visitors Bureau to create the AR Bid Online Procurement System, or AR Bid. This one-stop shop allows vendors to conveniently access all agencies' bid opportunities from a single portal.

The Benefits of Creating A Supplier Profile
Create one profile to receive automatic email notifications of bid opportunities from the partnered agencies. Choose multiple categories and commodity codes to determine the type of bid notifications that will be received. Bid responses may be submitted online through the AR Bid system. IT'S FREE. There is no cost to register your company, access bid opportunities, or submit an online bid response.

Financial Reports

Little Rock Water Reclamation Authority's initial Financial Report was developed in compliance with Statement of Governmental Accounting Standard No. 34, entitled "Basis Financial Statements — Management's Discussion and Analysis — For State and Local Governments" (GASB 34).

LRWRA is responsible for the financial statements and related information included in this report. A system of internal accounting controls is maintained to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that the books and records reflect only authorized transactions.

LRWRA's system of internal accounting controls is evaluated on an ongoing basis by internal financial staff. Independent external auditors also consider certain elements of the internal control system in order to determine their auditing procedures for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the financial statements.

One member of the Little Rock Water Reclamation Commission along with the CEO and division managers form the Budget Committee. This commission establishes the goals and financial objectives for the coming year and future years. Each month, financial statements are presented to the Little Rock Water Reclamation Commission to show that operations are being conducted according to management's intentions.

LRWRA management believes that its policies and procedures provide guidance and reasonable assurance that the LRWRA's operations are conducted according to management's intentions and to a high standard of business ethics. In our view, the financial statements present fairly — in all material respects — the financial position, results of operations and cash flow of LRWRA in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States
