The Orange County Board of County Commissioners authorizes the sale of the property <br /> described above through the upset bid procedure of North Carolina General Statute <br /> 160A-269. <br /> 2. The Orange County Purchasing Agent shall cause a notice of the proposed sale to be <br /> published. The notice shall describe the property and the amount of the offer, and shall <br /> state the terms under which the offer may be upset. <br /> 3. Persons wishing to upset the offer that has been received shall submit a sealed bid with <br /> their offer to the office of the Purchasing Agent, located at 405 Meadowlands Drive, <br /> Hillsborough, NC, within 10 days after the notice of sale is published. At the conclusion <br /> of the ten day period, the Purchasing Agent shall open the bids, if any, and the highest <br /> such bid will become the new offer. If there is more than one bid in the highest amount, <br /> the first such bid received will become the new offer. <br /> 4. If a qualifying higher bid is received, the Purchasing Agent shall cause a new notice of <br /> the upset bid to be published, and shall continue to do so until a 10—day period has <br /> passed without any qualifying upset bids having been received. At that time, the <br /> amount of the final high bid shall be reported to the Orange County Board of County <br /> Commissioners. <br /> 5. A qualifying higher bid is one that raises the existing offer by not less than ten percent <br /> (10%) of the first $1,000 of that offer and five percent (5%) of the remainder of that <br /> offer. <br />
