Summary

After opening bids funded by a WVDEP REAP program, Upshur County awarded a demolition contract for 88 Jack Lane to Spruce Creek Enterprises for $9,150, within program funding limits.

At 9:15 a.m. on April 23, Assistant County Administrator Cindy M. Hughes opened and reviewed three bids for the demolition of the structure at 88 Jack Lane under the WVDEP REAP Dilapidated Properties Program. The program provided $13,000 in funding for the project, with expected deductions for asbestos testing, advertising and legal fees leaving approximately $10,625 available.

Bids received were: Spruce Creek Enterprises (Clarksburg) $9,150; Smokey Joe Enterprises, LLC (Beverly) $20,500; and Ace Everything, LLC (Spencer) $11,500. The Commission accepted the low bid from Spruce Creek Enterprises for $9,150 (motion by Sam Nolte, seconded by Doug Bush). The minutes show the award fits under the available program funding after estimated costs.

The Commission then continued with routine fiscal approvals and settlements. The minutes do not record additional contractor conditions or a project start date; county staff are responsible for executing contract paperwork following the award.
