The County will accept sealed bids until 10:00 AM local time, Tuesday, October 13, 2009. <br />Bids shall be delivered to the office of the Director of Purchasing and Asset Management <br />at 129 East King Street, Hillsborough, North Carolina. Bids will be submitted by property <br />in separate, sealed envelopes marked clearly with the property name. <br />3. At 10:OOAM, Tuesday, October 13, 2009 all bids received shall be opened in public and <br />the amount of each bid recorded. <br />4. The record of bids shall be reported to the Board of Commissioners at its regular meeting <br />on Thursday, November 5, 2009. The Board of Commissioners will take action which <br />proposes to accept the offer, thereby commencing an upset bid process at this same <br />meeting. Bids will remain open and subject to acceptance until the Board of <br />Commissioners award the bids. <br />5. To be responsible a bid must be accompanied by a bid deposit of five percent (5%) of the <br />amount of the bid. A bid deposit may take the form of cash, a cashier's check, a certified <br />check, or a surety bond. The deposit of the bidder to whom the award is made will be <br />held until sale of the property is closed; if that bidder refuses at any time to close the sale, <br />the deposit will be forfeited to the County. The deposits of other bidders will be returned <br />at the time the Board of Commissioners awards the property to the highest bidder, or until <br />such time the original highest responsible bid is overturned by an upset bid. <br />6. In addition, to be responsible, a bidder must be current on payment of all property taxes <br />owed to the County. <br />7. The County reserves the right to withdraw the property from sale at any time and the right <br />to reject all bids. <br />Adopted August 18, 2009. <br />
