Sales to others than Treasurer or Commissioners
Official statutory text
In the event said bonds, or some portion thereof, are not sold to
the State Treasurer or the Commissioners of the Land Office, as
authorized in Section 5 hereof, then the Commissioner is authorized
to advertise said bonds or the unsold portion thereof, for sale to
other bidders and to sell said bonds, or the unsold portion thereof,
in the manner hereinafter provided. Notice of such sale shall be
published at least thirty (30) days prior to the date fixed for such
sale. Such notice shall be published for at least two (2)
consecutive weeks in a newspaper having general circulation in the
State of Oklahoma, and at least once in a financial periodical or
newspaper known to have general circulation among bond dealers and
bond purchasers. Such notice shall state the time and place when
and where the Commission will receive written bids for the purchase
of the bonds so offered for sale and shall also state that the bonds
will be sold to the bidder bidding the lowest interest rate to the
State of Oklahoma stating also, however, that the Commission may, in
its discretion, reject all bids submitted and readvertise the bonds
for sale. Such notice may contain such other conditions,
information and details as the Commission deems appropriate and
desirable to secure understanding of the offer and to assure maximum
competition between bidders. Upon acceptance of the low bid (which
shall not exceed an average rate of interest exceeding three percent
(3%) per annum), the bonds shall be issued in accordance therewith
and shall be delivered to said purchaser upon payment of the
purchase price thereof, which shall be not less than par plus
accrued interest to date of delivery. Provided, however, no tender
of the bonds shall be valid until after the expiration of the period
of contestability, provided for herein. All bidders shall be
required to submit with their bids, such good faith deposit as may
to the Commission seem appropriate. Upon the acceptance of a bid,
the Commission shall return to all of the unsuccessful bidders the
deposits so made by them. All such deposits shall become the
property of the State of Oklahoma, and shall be credited upon the
purchase price of the bonds so sold and with the further agreement
Oklahoma Statutes - Title 62. Public Finance Page 208
that if the purchaser shall fail for five (5) days after the tender
of the bonds, to pay the balance of the purchase price, said sale
shall be thereby annulled and the deposit shall in such event be
retained by the State of Oklahoma and credited to the General
Revenue Fund of the state.
