The Upshur County Commission voted on March 19 to advertise a Request for Bids (RFB) for demolition of a structure at 88 Jack Lane, Buckhannon. Sealed bids must be received by 4:00 p.m. Wednesday, April 22, 2026; bids will be opened publicly at 9:15 a.m. on Thursday, April 23, 2026 in the Commission Office.
The agenda materials state the project is being made possible by the West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) REAP Dilapidated Properties Program. The motion to advertise the RFB was approved on a motion by Sam Nolte, seconded by Doug Bush.
Why it matters: The demolition addresses a dilapidated property in Buckhannon and uses targeted state program funds intended for property remediation. Contractors interested in bidding must meet submission deadlines and specifications included in the RFB package.
Next steps: The county will accept sealed bids through April 22 and conduct a public opening April 23; award decisions will follow review of the bids.
