Official statutory text
Commissioners of Land Office.
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 Commission 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, 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 be made upon the agreement that the
deposit made by the successful bidder 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 that if the
purchaser shall fail for five (5) days after 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
