Klinger v. City of Fayetteville

John I. Purtle, Justice.

This is an appeal from the granting of a summary judgment in favor of the appellee, City of Fayetteville, in which the chancellor held that as a matter of law the competitive bidding requirements of Ark. Stat. Ann. §§19-4425 (Supp. 1985) and 19-716(a) (Repl. 1980) were inapplicable to contracts for professional services. On appeal the appellant argues that the chancellor erred in holding that contracts for professional services are exempt from the competitive bidding requirements of either statute. Finding error in the chancellor’s ruling, we reverse and remand.
