not later than 3:30 P.M., Central Time on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is <br />not received by that time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit <br />requirement. <br />The Deposit received from the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement, will be <br />deposited by the City and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to <br />comply with the accepted proposal, said amount 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 />CUSIP NUMBERS <br />If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but <br />neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect thereto will constitute <br />cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau <br />charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers shall be paid by the purchaser. <br />SETTLEMENT <br />On or about November 20, 2014, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the purchaser through DTC <br />in New York, New York.
