resources. The mineral interests being offered have no known value. At
the time of the sale, the bidder will be required to pay a $50 filing
fee (in addition to their bid) for all unreserved mineral interests.
Sale of the above land will be conducted by modified competitive
bidding. Timberline Feedlot Inc. will be allowed preference
consideration to meet the high bid. The proposed sale is consistent
with the Washakie Resource Management Plan and meets the sale criteria
of 43 CFR 2710.0-3(a)(2). Disposal of this tract will serve to increase
the economic development of the Worland area through the expansion of
Timberline's feedlot.
All bidders must be United States citizens, 18 years of age or
older, corporations subject to laws in the state of Wyoming, a state,
state instrumentality or political subdivision authorized to hold
property, or an entity legally capable of conveying and holding land or
interests in land in Wyoming.
All sealed bids must be accompanied by a payment of not less than
ten (10) percent of the total bid, plus a $50 filing fee for all
unreserved mineral interests. Each bid must be accompanied by a
certified check, postal money order, bank draft, or cashier's check
made payable to the Bureau of Land Management.
The apparent high bidder and the designated bidder (Timberline
Feedlot Inc.) will be notified immediately
[[Page 48520]]
following the opening of the sealed bids on November 15, 1995. If the
designated bidder (Timberline Feedlot Inc.) fails to exercise their
preference consideration to meet the highest bid within 30 days of the
sale, the BLM will offer the lands to the high bidder. If the apparent
high bidder is disqualified, the next highest qualified bid will be
accepted. If Timberline Feedlot Inc. chooses not to meet the high bid
and two (2) or more envelopes containing valid bids of the same amount
are received, supplemental sealed bidding will be used to determine the
high bid.
The successful bidder shall submit the remainder of the full bid
price prior to the expiration of 180 days from the date of the sale.
Failure to pay the remainder of the full bid price shall result in
cancellation of the sale and the deposit shall be forfeited and
disposed of as other receipts of the sale. Conveyance of the public
land will except and reserve to the United States:
1. A right-of-way (ROW) thereon for ditches and canals constructed
by the authority of the United States. Act of August 30, 1890 (43
U.S.C. 945).
2. All the oil and gas in the land so patented, and to it, or
persons authorized by it, the right to prospect for, mine and remove
such deposits from the same upon compliance with the conditions and
subject to the provisions and limitations of the Act of July 17, 1914,
as supplemented (30 U.S.C. 121-124).
