Rates shall be in integral multiples of 1/100 or 1/8 of 1%. The initial price to the public <br /> for each maturity must be 98.0% or greater.

Each bidder shall be solely responsible for the timely delivery of their Deposit whether <br /> by check, wire transfer or Financial Surety Bond. Neither the City nor Springsted Incorporated <br /> have any liability for delays in the transmission of the Deposit. <br /> Any Deposit made by certified or cashier's check should be made payable to the City and <br /> delivered to Springsted Incorporated, 380 Jackson Street, Suite 300, St. Paul, Minnesota <br /> 55101. <br /> Any Deposit sent via wire transfer should be sent to Springsted Incorporated as the City's <br /> agent according to the following instructions: <br /> Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., San Francisco, CA 94104 <br /> ABA#121000248 <br /> for credit to Springsted Incorporated, Account#635-5007954 <br /> Ref: Elk River, MN Series 2014A Good Faith Deposit <br /> Contemporaneously with such wire transfer, the bidder shall send an e-mail to <br /> bond services @springsted.com, including the following information; (i) indication that a wire <br /> transfer has been made (including the fed reference number and time released), (ii) the amount <br /> of the wire transfer, (iii) the issue to which it applies, and (iv) the return wire instructions if such <br /> bidder is not awarded the Bonds. <br /> Any Deposit made by the successful bidder by check or wire transfer will be delivered to the City <br /> following the award of the Bonds. Any Deposit made by check or wire transfer by an <br /> unsuccessful bidder will be returned to such bidder following City action relative to an award of <br /> the Bonds. <br /> If a Financial Surety Bond is used, it must be from an insurance company licensed to issue <br /> such a bond in the State of Minnesota and pre-approved by the City. Such bond must be <br /> submitted to Springsted Incorporated prior to the opening of the proposals. The Financial <br /> Surety Bond must identify each underwriter whose Deposit is guaranteed by such Financial <br /> Surety Bond. If the Bonds are awarded to an underwriter using a Financial Surety Bond, then <br /> that underwriter is required to submit its Deposit to the City 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 time, <br /> the Financial Surety Bond may be drawn by the City to satisfy the Deposit requirement. <br /> The Deposit received from the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at settlement, <br /> will be deposited by the City and no interest will accrue to the purchaser. In the event the <br /> purchaser fails to comply with the accepted proposal, said amount will be retained by the City. <br /> - iii - <br /> 79 <br />
