Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that purchaser is <br />required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated in the form of a certified or cashier's <br />check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3:30 P.M., Central <br />Time, on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that <br />time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement. <br />The City will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at <br />settlement 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. No proposal can <br />be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the meeting of the <br />City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date <br />without award of the Bonds having been made. A single rate of interest shall be specified. The <br />rate shall be in an integral multiple of 5/100 or 1/8 of 1%. Bonds of the same maturity shall <br />bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional proposals <br />will be accepted. <br />AWARD <br />The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true <br />interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in <br />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 <br />matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals <br />without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply <br />with the terms herein. <br />REGISTRAR <br />The City will name the registrar which shall be subject to applicable SEC regulations. The City <br />will pay for the services of the registrar. <br />CUSIP NUMBERS <br />If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the <br />Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect <br />thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the <br />Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers <br />shall be paid by the purchaser. <br />SETTLEMENT <br />Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the <br />purchaser at a place mutually satisfactory to the City and the purchaser. Delivery will be <br />subject to receipt by the purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Holmes & Graven, <br />Chartered of Minneapolis, Minnesota, which opinion will be printed on the Bonds, and of <br />customary closing papers, including a no -litigation certificate. On the date of settlement <br />payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal, or equivalent, funds which shall be received at <br />the offices of the City or its designee not later than 12:00 Noon, Central Time. Except as <br />compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds shall have been made impossible by action <br />of the City, or its agents, the purchaser shall be liable to the City for any Toss suffered by the <br />City by reason of the purchaser's non-compliance with said terms for payment. <br />OFFICIAL STATEMENT <br />The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent <br />information relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly -final Official <br />
