INVITATION TO BID
INTERIM FINANCING
The City of Starke has secured a $10,676,000 loan through USDA along with a $9,633,000 grant for a new advanced waste water treatment plant. The City is seeking interim financing in the amount of $10,676,000 during the planning and construction phases of the project. It is anticipated the term of the planning and construction phases of the project will be twenty-four months. However, given the size of this project the interim financing period may extend beyond this initial period.
Please quote an interest rate for both a twelve-month loan term and a twenty-four-month loan term. The rate quoted should be a flat simple interest rate. The bidder may also provide an alternate interest rate based on a verifiable index such as the Federal Reserve Rate. Please note, the rates quoted should be good through December 31, 2022. Any closing cost or other fees associated with the interim financing should be quoted separately. The bidder should also provide details regarding the terms of any required extension beyond twenty-four months should such extension become necessary. The appropriate City staff will make a recommendation to the City Commission based upon the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose bid conforms to this Invitation to Bid and is otherwise most advantageous to the City. If the lowest bid response fails to comply with the requirements of this Invitation to Bid, then the second lowest responsive and responsible bidder will be called upon, and so on. A determination of the lowest responsive and responsible bidder whose bid conforms to this Invitation to Bid will be in the sole discretion of the City and may take into account not only the interest rate quoted, but also associated fees and any anticipated “soft costs” to the City.
All bids should be submitted by 2:00 PM Eastern Standard Time on or before November 18, 2022. All bids timely received will be opened at this time and later reviewed by staff. A recommendation to award the bid will be presented to the City Commission at their November 22, 2022 special scheduled meeting that will begin at 5:30 PM, Eastern Standard Time. Bids should be mailed, hand delivered, or delivered by parcel carrier to Starke City Hall.
