Determination of the successful bidder and award of the Bonds will be made to the bidder whose bid offers the lowest true interest cost to the Issuer, such lowest true interest cost to be determined by doubling the semiannual interest rate 4 3247/KON59010/ABO (compounded semiannually) necessary to discount the debt service payments on the Bonds from the payment dates to May 1, 1993, and to the price bid. If 2 or more bids offer the same true interest cost, the Bonds will be awarded to the bidder on the bid selected by lot among those bids bearing the same true interest cost.
