At the public meeting, the Board may also consider oral bids, and choose to award the sale of the property to the highest responsible bidder, or reject all bids. Notices of the adoption of the resolution and intent to sell County-owned real property (Attachment B) will be published for three successive weeks in accordance with California Government Code section 6063. Individual bid packages (Attachment C) containing submittal directions, bid forms, and purchase and sale agreements will be available upon request, and bid submittals will be received until 4:00 p.m. on June 20, 2016. Setting the public meeting date for June 21, 2016 will allow for three weeks for the publishing of notices, additional marketing, the receipt of bid submittals, and staff preparation for the public meeting.
