City will treat such sale price as the "issue price" for such maturity, applied on a maturity -by -maturity <br />basis. The City will not require the Purchaser to comply with that portion of the Regulation commonly <br />described as the "hold -the -offering -price" requirement for the remaining maturities, but the Purchaser <br />may elect such option. If the Purchaser exercises such option, the City will apply the initial offering price <br />to the public provided in the proposal as the issue price for such maturities. If the Purchaser does not <br />exercise that option, it shall thereafter promptly provide the City and Springsted the prices at which 10% <br />of such maturities are sold to the public; provided such determination shall be made and the City and <br />Springsted notified of such prices whether or not the closing date has occurred, until the 10% test has <br />been satisfied as to each maturity of the Bonds or until all of the Bonds of a maturity have been sold. <br />GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT <br />To have its proposal considered for award, the Purchaser is required to submit a good faith deposit to the <br />City in the amount of $71,690 (the "Deposit") no later than 2:00 PM., Central Time on the Sale Date. <br />The Deposit may be delivered as described herein in the form of either (i) a certified or cashier's check <br />payable to the City; or (ii) a wire transfer. The Purchaser shall be solely responsible for the timely <br />delivery of its Deposit whether by check or wire transfer. Neither the City nor Springsted have any <br />liability for delays in the receipt of the Deposit. If the Deposit is not received by the specified time, the <br />City may, at its sole discretion, reject the proposal of the lowest bidder, direct the second lowest bidder to <br />submit a Deposit, and thereafter award the sale to such bidder. <br />Certified or Cashier's Check. A Deposit made by certified or cashier's check will be considered timely <br />delivered to the City if it is made payable to the City and delivered to Springsted Incorporated, <br />380 Jackson Street, Suite 300, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101 by the time specified above. <br />Wire Transfer. A Deposit made by wire will be considered timely delivered to the City upon submission <br />of a federal wire reference number by the specified time. Wire transfer instructions will be available from <br />Springsted following the receipt and tabulation of proposals. The successful bidder must send an e-mail <br />including the following information: (i) the federal reference number and time released; (ii) the amount of <br />the wire transfer; and (iii) the issue to which it applies. <br />Once an award has been made, the Deposit received from the Purchaser will be retained by the City and <br />no interest will accrue to the Purchaser. The amount of the Deposit will be deducted at settlement from <br />the purchase price. In the event the Purchaser fails to comply with the accepted proposal, said amount <br />will be retained by the City. <br />AWARD <br />The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true interest cost <br />(TIC) basis calculated on the proposal prior to any adjustment made by the City. The City's computation <br />of the interest rate of each proposal, in accordance with customary practice, will be controlling. <br />The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non -substantive informalities of any proposal or of matters <br />relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals without cause, and <br />(iii) reject any proposal that the City determines to have failed to comply with the terms herein. <br />BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION <br />The City has not applied for or pre -approved a commitment for any policy of municipal bond insurance <br />with respect to the Bonds. If the Bonds qualify for municipal bond insurance and a bidder desires to <br />purchase a policy, such indication, the maturities to be insured, and the name of the desired insurer must <br />be set forth on the bidder's proposal. The City specifically reserves the right to reject any bid specifying <br />municipal bond insurance, even though such bid may result in the lowest TIC to the City. All costs <br />associated with the issuance and administration of such policy and associated ratings and expenses (other <br />than any independent rating requested by the City) shall be paid by the successful bidder. Failure of the <br />municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after the award of the Bonds shall not constitute cause for <br />failure or refusal by the successful bidder to accept delivery of the Bonds. <br />A-5 <br />536380v2 JAE LN 140-118 <br />
