BIDDING PARAMETERS Proposals shall be for not less than $1,099,475 and accrued interest on the total principal amount of the Bonds. No proposal can be withdrawn or amended after the time set for receiving proposals unless the meeting of the City scheduled for award of the Bonds is adjourned, recessed, or continued to another date without award of the Bonds having been made. Rates shall be in integral multiples of 5/100 or 1/8 of 1%. Rates are not required to be in level or ascending order; however, the rate for any maturity cannot be more than 1 % lower than the highest rate of any of the preceding maturities. Bonds of the same maturity shall bear a single rate from the date of the Bonds to the date of maturity. No conditional proposals will be accepted. GOOD FAITH DEPOSIT Proposals, regardless of method of submission, shall be accompanied by a Deposit in the amount of $11,050, in the form of a certified or cashier's check, a wire transfer, or Financial Surety Bond and delivered to Springsted Incorporated prior to the time proposals will be opened. Each bidder shall be solely responsible for the timely delivery of their Deposit whether by check, wire transfer or Financial Surety Bond. Neither the City nor Springsted Incorporated have any liability for delays in the transmission of the Deposit.

Any Deposit made by the successful bidder by check or wire transfer will be delivered to the City following the award of the Bonds. Any Deposit made by check or wire transfer by an unsuccessful bidder will be returned to such bidder following City action relative to an award of the Bonds. If a Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue such a bond in the State of Minnesota and pre-approved by the City. Such bond must be submitted to Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial Surety Bond must identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial Surety Bond. If the Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then that underwriter is required to submit its Deposit to the City in the form of a certified or cashier's check or wire transfer as instructed by Springsted Incorporated not later than 3:30 P.M., Central Time on the next business day following the award. If such Deposit is not received by that time, the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement. The Deposit received from the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement, will be deposited by the City and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the purchaser fails to comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City.
