40:37B-22. Terms and conditions of sale
(a) All bidders shall be required to deposit a certified or cashier's or treasurer's check, drawn upon a bank or trust company, equal to not less than 2% of the bonds to secure the authority in part from any loss resulting from the failure of the bidder to comply with the terms of his bid, or as liquidated damages for such failure.
(b) All bids for bonds shall publicly opened and announced at the advertised time and place of sale. Such bids as comply with the terms of the notice of sale shall be considered, and any bid not complying with the terms of such notice may be rejected. All bids received may be rejected.
(c) Bonds of 2 or more issues may be sold on the basis of combined maturities, or the maturities of each issue offered for sale.
(d) Bonds may be offered for sale at a single rate of interest, or bidders may be requested to name a single rate of interest, but no proposal shall be considered which offers to pay less than the principal amount of bonds offered for sale or which names a rate of interest higher than the lowest rate of interest stated in any legally acceptable proposal.
As between proposals naming the same lowest rate of interest, the proposal offering to accept the least amount of bonds shall be accepted, the bonds to be accepted shall be those first maturing, and as between such proposals, the proposal offering to pay the greatest premium shall be accepted. The amount of premium bid for the bonds shall in no event exceed $1,000.00 for the principal amount of bonds offered for sale. In order to effect the foregoing, a sufficient number of the last maturing bonds shall be of the denomination of $1,000.00 or less.
(e) Bonds may be offered for sale at different rates of interest for the same issue or different rates of interest for different issues, or parts thereof, or bidders may be requested to name any such rates of interest. No proposal shall be considered which offers to pay an amount less than the principal amount of bonds offered for sale or under which the total loan is made at an interest cost higher than the lowest net interest cost to the authority under any legally acceptable proposal. Such net interest cost shall be computed in each instance by adding to the total principal amount of bonds bid for, the total interest cost to maturity in accordance with such bid and by deduction therefrom of the amount of premium, if any, bid.
(f) The authority may establish additional terms or conditions of sale.
