Proposals must be unconditional, must be on the City's proposal form prepared for the purpose, must be submitted in sealed envelopes marked "Proposal for Purchase of City of Roanoke, Virginia, Public Improvement Bonds, Series 1988" addressed to the City Council of thc City of Roanoke, Virginia, Municipal Building, Roanoke, Virginia, and must be accompanied by a certified or bank treasurer's or cashier's check in the amount of $100,000 payable to the order of the City of Roanoke, Virginia, as a guarantee of gnod faith on the pan of the bidder. No interest will be paid by the City on such good faith deposit. Good faith che¢its of unsuccessful bidders will be promptly returned to the representatives thereof upon the award of the Bonds or rejection of all proposals, as the case may be. The good faith check of the successful bidder will be deposited by the City and the proceeds thereof credited against the purchase price due for the Bonds upon their delivery or retained as and for liquidated damages in the event the successful bidder fails to take up and pay for the Bonds in accordance with its proposal. Thc Bonds will be printed at the expense of thc City. Delivery of the Bonds, properly executed, will be made to the successful bidder in New York, New York, on August 1, 1988, or as soon thereafter as the Bonds can be prepared. Payment of the balance of the purchase price, including any premium offered, must be made in Federal funds. The City will furnish on delivery of the Bonds the opinion of Wood Dawson Smith & Heilman, New York, New York, Bond Counsel to the City, approving the validity of the Bonds~;.with such opinion to be printed on the reverse of the Bonds. Such opinion will state that thc Bond~ COnstitute valid and legally binding obligations of the City and that the City has power and is obligated to levy ad valorem taxes for the payment of the Bonds and the interest thereon upon all property within the City subject to taxation by the City, without limitation of rate or amount, it being understood that the rights of the holders of the Bonds and the enforceability thereof may be subject to the valid exercise of judicial discretion, the sovereign policy powers of the Commonwealth of Virginia and the constitutional powers of the United States of America, and valid bankroptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws affecting ~reditors' rights. Such opinion will also state that, under existing law and regulations, the interest on the Bonds (i) is excluded from gross income for federal income tax purposes, and (ii) is not an item of tax preference for purposes of the federal alterna~,e minimum tax imposed on corporations and taxpayers other than corporations. Exclusion of the interest on the Bonds from gross income for 'federal income, tax putpcees is dependent upon continuing compliance by the City with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), throughout the term of the Bonds. Under the Code, failure to comply with such requirements may cause the interest on the Bonds to be included in ~rnss income retroactively to their date of issuance. The City has covenanted to comply with such requirements of the Code. It will be further stated that Bond Counsel expresses no opinion regarding other federal ~ consequences arising with respect ~ the Bonds. However, interest on any Bond held by cotporatinns during tax years beginning after 1986 must be included in the calculation of adjusted net book income or adjusted current earnings for purposes of computing the alternative minimum tax and the environmental tax imposed on corporations under the Code, and in the calculation of earnin~ and proilts for purposes of computing the branch profits tan imposed on foreign corporations under the Code. In addition, ownership of Bonds may result in collateral federal income tax consequences to certain taxpayers including, without limitation, financial institutions, property and casualty insurance companies, individual recipients of Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits and taxpayers who may be deemed to have incurred (or Continued) indebtedness to purchase or carry the Bonds. The opinion of Bond Counsel will further state that, under the existing law of the Commonwealth of Virginia, such interest is not includable in computing the Virginia income tax. The su~essful bidder will also be fm'nished with the usual closing documents, including a certificate that no litigation is pending affecting the validity of the Bonds. The successful bidder will be required to provide to the City within ten (10) days after the award of the Bonds the initial offering price or yield of each maturity of the Bonds to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers and other intermediaries). The successful bidder shall furnish to the City a certificate acceptable to Bond Counsel, dated as of the day of closing for the BOnds, stating that the successful bidder has made a bona fide public offering of the BOnds and setting forth thc initial public offering prices or yields at which a substantial amount of the Bonds of each maturity were sold to the public (excluding bond houses, brokers and other intermediaries). Such certificate shall state that (1) it is made on the best knowledge, information and belief of the su~cussful bidder, and (2) 10~ or more in par amount of the Bond of each maturity was sold to the public at or below the initial public offering prices or yields ' (such amount being anfficiunt to establish the mdc of a "substantial smonnt" of the BOnds). The successful bidder shall deliver written instructious to the Registrar, not less than five business days prior to the scheduled dallvery of the Bonds, as to the mariner in which the Bonds shall be registered at delivery, including the name and address of each registered owner and, if a single registered owner shall require more than one Bond of any maturity, the number and amount of Bonds of such maturity to be registered to such registered owner. In the absence of instruction, Bonds will be registered in the name of the su_,~ce~__~sful bidder. it is anticipated that CUSIP identification numbers will be printed on the Bonds, but neither the failure to print any such number on any Bond nor any error or omi~inn with respect thereto shall constitute cause for failure or ~fusal by the successful bidder for the Bonds to accept delivery of and pay for the Bonds in acuordance with the terms of its proposal. No CUSIP identification number shall constitute or be deemed to be a pa~ of any Bond or a part of the contract evidenced thereby and no liability shall attach to the City or ~ny of its officers or agents be. cause of or on account of any such number or any use made thereof. All expenses in relation to the prioting.~CUSIP identil/cution numbers on the BOnds shall be paid for by the City; pro~/ded, however, that thi CUSIP Scmice Bureau charge for the assignment of such numbers shall be the respuns~ility of and Shall be paid for by the successful bidder for the Bonds.
