Arkansas Code Title 19. Public Finance § 19-4-524. Construction and permanent improvements

(1) Advertising for bids;

(2) Architects, engineers, and other professional services in connection with the proposed projects; and

(3) The payment of estimates on the various contracts in connection with such construction programs. All construction and improvements of whatever nature shall be subject to the provisions of §§ 19-4-1401--19-4-1412 and to the rules promulgated by the Chief Fiscal Officer of the State. No state agency for which appropriations have been made by the General Assembly for construction or improvements shall make any contract or incur any indebtedness payable from such appropriations unless and until there are sufficient funds on hand, for the benefit of any agency, to pay for the proposed obligations under such contracts. However, any such agency shall have the power to accept and use grants and donations and to use its unobligated cash income or other funds available to it for the purpose of supplementing the appropriations for construction purposes. The appropriations and funds otherwise provided by the General Assembly for personal services, maintenance, and general operation of the agency shall not be used in connection with any proposed construction projects for which specific appropriations have been made by the General Assembly, except for minor repairs and maintenance.
