The Raleigh County Commission is soliciting sealed‑bid contractors to demolish a series of residential structures throughout the county, including a burned single‑family house at 178 Cobbs St, Beckley, WV (AB588). Work includes complete demolition, utility disconnection and capping, removal of refrigerants, back‑filling with on‑site clean masonry and topsoil, debris disposal to a licensed sanitary landfill, traffic control, and post‑demolition site restoration.
