SUBMISSION OF PROPOSALS
Proposals may be submitted in a sealed envelope or by fax (651) 223 -3046 to Springsted.
Signed Proposals, without final price or coupons, may be submitted to Springsted prior to the
time of sale. The bidder shall be responsible for submitting to Springsted the final Proposal
price and coupons, by telephone (651) 223 -3000 or fax (651) 223 -3046 for inclusion in the
submitted Proposal. Springsted will assume no liability for the inability of the bidder to reach
Springsted prior to the time of sale specified above. All bidders are advised that each Proposal
shall be deemed to constitute a contract between the bidder and the City to purchase the Bonds
regardless of the manner of the Proposal submitted.
DETAILS OF THE BONDS
The Bonds will be dated August 15, 2001, as the date of original issue, and will bear interest
payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year, commencing August 1, 2002. Interest will
be computed on the basis of a 360 -day year of twelve 30 -day months.
The Bonds will mature February 1 in the years and amounts as follows:
2003 $105,000 2006 $130,000 2009 $140,000 2011 $145,000
2004 $125,000 2007 $130,000 2010 $140,000 2012 $150,000
2005 $125,000 2008 $135,000
Proposals for the Bonds may contain a maturity schedule providing for a combination of serial
bonds and term bonds, provided that no serial bond may mature on or after the first mandatory
sinking fund redemption date of any term bond. All term bonds shall be subject to mandatory
sinking fund redemption and must conform to the maturity schedule set forth above at a price of
par plus accrued interest to the date of redemption. In order to designate term bonds, the
proposal must specify "Last Year of Serial Maturities" and "Years of Term Maturities" in the
spaces provided on the Proposal Form.
BOOK ENTRY SYSTEM
The Bonds will be issued by means of a book entry system with no physical distribution of
Bonds made to the public. The Bonds will be issued in fully registered form and one Bond,
representing the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds maturing in each year, will be
registered in the name of Cede & Co. as nominee of The Depository Trust Company ( "DTC "),
New York, New York, which will act as securities depository of the Bonds. Individual purchases
of the Bonds may made in the principal amount of $5,000 or any multiple thereof of a single
maturity through book entries made on the books and records of DTC and its participants.
Principal and interest are payable by the registrar to DTC or its nominee as registered owner of
the Bonds. Transfer of principal and interest payments to participants of DTC will be the
responsibility of DTC; transfer of principal and interest payments to beneficial owners by
participants will be the responsibility of such participants and other nominees of beneficial
owners. The purchaser, as a condition of delivery of the Bonds, will be required to deposit the
Bonds with DTC.
REGISTRAR
The City will name the Registrar which shall be subject to applicable S.E.C. regulations. The
City will pay for the services of the registrar.
OPTIONAL REDEMPTION
The City may elect on February 1, 2010, and on any day thereafter, to prepay Bonds due on or
after February 1, 2011. Redemption may be in whole or in part and if in part at the option of the
City and in such manner as the City shall determine. If less than all Bonds of a maturity are
called for redemption, the City will notify DTC of the particular amount of such maturity to be
prepaid. DTC will determine by lot the amount of each participant's interest in such maturity to
be redeemed and each participant will then select by lot the beneficial ownership interests in
such maturity to be redeemed. All prepayments shall be at a price of par plus accrued interest.
SECURITY AND PURPOSE
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which the City will pledge its full faith and
credit and power to levy direct general ad valorem taxes. In addition the City will pledge special
assessments on benefited properties. The proceeds will be used to finance improvements in
the City.
TYPE OF PROPOSALS
Proposals shall be for not less than $1,286,750 and accrued interest on the total principal
amount of the Bonds. Proposals shall be accompanied by a Good Faith Deposit ( "Deposit ") in
the form of a certified or cashier's check or a Financial Surety Bond in the amount of $13,250,
payable to the order of the City. If a check is used, it must accompany the proposal. 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 preapproved 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 purchaser is
required to submit its Deposit to Springsted Incorporated 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 City will deposit the check of the purchaser, the amount of which will be deducted at
settlement 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. 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 must be in level or ascending order. 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.
The Bonds will be awarded on the basis of the lowest interest rate to be determined on a true
interest cost (TIC) basis. The City's computation of the interest rate of each proposal, in
accordance with customary practice, will be controlling.
The City will reserve the right to: (i) waive non - substantive informalities of any proposal or of
matters relating to the receipt of proposals and award of the Bonds, (ii) reject all proposals
without cause, and, (iii) reject any proposal which the City determines to have failed to comply
with the terms herein.
BOND INSURANCE AT PURCHASER'S OPTION
If the Bonds qualify for issuance of any policy of municipal bond insurance or commitment
therefor at the option of the underwriter, the purchase of any such insurance policy or the
issuance of any such commitment shall be at the sole option and expense of the purchaser of
the Bonds. Any increased costs of issuance of the Bonds resulting from such purchase of
insurance shall be paid by the purchaser, except that, if the City has requested and received a
rating on the Bonds from a rating agency, the City will pay that rating fee. Any other rating
agency fees shall be the responsibility of the purchaser.
Failure of the municipal bond insurer to issue the policy after Bonds have been awarded to the
purchaser shall not constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery on
the Bonds.
CUSIP NUMBERS
If the Bonds qualify for assignment of CUSIP numbers such numbers will be printed on the
Bonds, but neither the failure to print such numbers on any Bond nor any error with respect
thereto will constitute cause for failure or refusal by the purchaser to accept delivery of the
Bonds. The CUSIP Service Bureau charge for the assignment of CUSIP identification numbers
shall be paid by the purchaser.
SETTLEMENT
Within 40 days following the date of their award, the Bonds will be delivered without cost to the
purchaser through DTC in New York, New York. Delivery will be subject to receipt by the
purchaser of an approving legal opinion of Briggs and Morgan, Professional Association, of
Saint Paul and Minneapolis, Minnesota, and of customary closing papers, including a no-
litigation certificate. On the date of settlement, payment for the Bonds shall be made in federal,
or equivalent, funds which shall be received at the offices of the City or its designee not later
than 12:00 Noon, Central Time. Except as compliance with the terms of payment for the Bonds
shall have been made impossible by action of the City, or its agents, the purchaser shall be
liable to the City for any loss suffered by the City by reason of the purchaser's non - compliance
with said terms for payment.
CONTINUING DISCLOSURE
On the date of actual issuance and delivery of the Bonds, the City will execute and deliver a
Continuing Disclosure Undertaking (the "Undertaking ") whereunder the City will covenant for
the benefit of the owners of the Bonds to provide certain financial and other information about
the City and notices of certain occurrences to information repositories as specified in and
required by SEC Rule 15c2- 12(b)(5).
OFFICIAL STATEMENT
The City has authorized the preparation of an Official Statement containing pertinent
information relative to the Bonds, and said Official Statement will serve as a nearly -final Official
Statement within the meaning of Rule 15c2 -12 of the Securities and Exchange Commission.
For copies of the Official Statement or for any additional information prior to sale, any
prospective purchaser is referred to the Financial Advisor to the City, Springsted Incorporated,
85 East Seventh Place, Suite 100, Saint Paul, Minnesota 55101, telephone (651) 223 -3000.
The Official Statement, when further supplemented by an addendum or addenda specifying the
maturity dates, principal amounts and interest rates of the Bonds, together with any other
information required by law, shall constitute a "Final Official Statement" of the City with respect
to the Bonds, as that term is defined in Rule 15c2 -12. By awarding the Bonds to any
underwriter or underwriting syndicate submitting a proposal therefor, the City agrees that, no
more than seven business days after the date of such award, it shall provide without cost to the
senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded 50 copies of the
Official Statement and the addendum or addenda described above. The City designates the
senior managing underwriter of the syndicate to which the Bonds are awarded as its agent for
purposes of distributing copies of the Final Official Statement to each Participating Underwriter.
Any underwriter delivering a proposal with respect to the Bonds agrees thereby that if its
proposal is accepted by the City (i) it shall accept such designation and (ii) it shall enter into a
contractual relationship with all Participating Underwriters of the Bonds for purposes of assuring
the receipt by each such Participating Underwriter of the Final Official Statement.
