Sales Procedures
The sale of parcels 1 and 7 will be by competitive sealed bids
followed by oral bidding. However, on parcel 3 competitive bids will
only be accepted from the designated bidders named below.
Modified Competitive Sale Designated Bidders:
Parcel No. 3
1. Gary L. McAllister and Linda M. McAllister
2. Gregorio Davis and Dora R. Davis
Sealed bids will be considered only if received in the Rio Puerco
Resource Area Office, 435 Montano Rd., NE., Albuquerque, New Mexico
87107, before 10 a.m. on November 15, 1994, the day of the sale. Oral
bids will be accepted commencing at 10:30 a.m., following the opening
of all sealed bids, at the same place on the same sale date. Sealed
bids of less than the appraised fair market value will be rejected. The
apparent highest qualified sealed bid will be publicly declared by the
Authorized Officer. The apparent highest qualified sealed bid will then
become the starting point for the oral bidding. If no apparent
qualified sealed are received, the oral bidding will start at the
appraised fair market value. In the absence of oral bids, the apparent
highest qualified sealed bid will establish the sale price for that
parcel. In the event that two or more sealed bids are received
containing valid bids of the same amount for the same parcel, and no
higher oral bid is received for that parcel, the determination of which
is to be considered the highest designated bid will be by supplemental
bidding. In such a case, the high bidders will be allowed to submit
oral or sealed bids as designated by the Authorized Officer. After oral
bids, if any, are received, the highest qualifying bid, whether sealed
or oral, shall be declared by the Authorized Officer.
Bidders must be 18 years of age or over and United States citizens,
and corporations must be subject to the laws of any State or of the
United States. Apparent high bidders must submit proof of these
requirements within 15 days after the sale date.
Bids must be made by the principal or his duly qualified agent.
Each sealed bid must be written or typed and accompanied by postal
money order, bank draft, or cashier's check made payable to the
Department of the Interior, Bureau of Land Management, for not less
than 10 percent or more than 30 percent of the amount of the bid. The
sealed bid envelope containing the bid and the required amount must be
marked in the lower left-hand corner as follows:
Public Sale Bid Parcel No.---------------------------------------------
Serial No.-------------------------------------------------------------
Sale Held--------------------------------------------------------------
(Date)
Each successful oral bidder will be required to pay not less than
20 percent of the amount of the bid immediately following the close of
the sale. Payment must be by cash, personal check, bank draft, money
order, or any combination of these. Successful bidders, whether such
bid is oral or sealed, will be required to pay the remainder of the
full bid price prior to the expiration of 180 days from the date of the
sale. Failure to submit the full bid price within the above specified
time limit will result in cancellation of the sale of the specific
parcel and the deposit will be forfeited and disposed of as other
receipts of sale.
All sealed bids will be either returned, accepted, or rejected
within 30 days of the sale date. Competitive and Modified Sale Parcels
not sold on the day of the sale, will be reoffered for sale every first
Tuesday of each month, same time and place, by the same procedures
described above until sold or until February 10, 1995 at close of
business.
On parcels 2, 4, 5, and 6, should any of the listed parties decline
to purchase an offered parcel within the time allotted, the unsold
parcel will then be reoffered by open competitive bidding procedures
described above every first Tuesday of each month, same time and place,
until sold or until February 10, 1995 at close of business.
In the event that the Authorized Officers rejects the highest
qualified bid for any of the above parcels, or releases the Bidder from
it, the Authorized Officer shall determine whether the public land
shall be withdrawn from the market or reoffered.
