The County of Wetzel, on behalf of the Wetzel County
Assessor’s Office, seeks sealed proposals for

audit including but not limited to location, identification,
mapping, auditing, and appraising of all locally assessed

systems, and gas plants in Wetzel County,
West Virginia.

accurately appraise the property for ad-valorem
purposes. Completion of this audit will confirm
that all oil and gas taxable personal property including
compressor stations, gathering pipelines and gas plants
have been valued according to state statute and
procedures developed by West Virginia Property
Tax Division.

Best Value Procurement
The Assessor’s Office will select which proposal to
accept based on Best Value Procurement practices.
Under Best Value Procurement, the Assessor’s Office
will consider the proposed price, and the total cost of
acquiring, operating, maintaining and supporting the
requested commodity or service over its projected
lifetime, balanced with the evaluated manner
in which the proposal addresses the business objectives
set forth in the Request for Proposal. While the price is a
key consideration, this does not mean that the
Assessor’s Office will necessarily select the lowest bid,
it will select the bid that, after due and thorough
evaluation, is determined to most effectively meet the
needs of the Assessor’s Office for the best value.
