The terms of the sale will be cash, the buyer to accept delivery of the property and to remove the property there from by November 15, 2018 which will be the expiration date of said contract. The department reserves the right to accept and/or reject any and/or all bids. The Department (at its discretion) reserves the right to rebid the sale.
