Calculation of additional percentage for round 2: A1 = (0.5 * 2) + (0.5 * 0) = 1 I2 = The smaller of [(( 1 + 1) * 0.1) = 0.2] and 0.2 (the maximum additional percentage) = 0.2 2. Calculation of dollar amount associated with the additional percentage for round 2 (using I2 from above): X2 = 0.2 * $1,000, 000 = $200,000 3. Minimum acceptable bid amount for round 2 = $1,200,000 Round 2 (3 bidders submitting bids, provisionally winning bid = $2, 000,000) 1. Calculation of additional percentage for round 3: A2 = (0.5 * 3) + (0.5 * 1) = 2 I3 = The smaller of [(( 1 + 2) * 0.1) = 0.3] and 0.2 (the maximum additional percentage) = 0.2 2. Calculation of dollar amount associated with the additional percentage for round 3 (using I3 from above): X3 = 0.2 * $2,000, 000 = $400,000 3. Minimum acceptable bid amount for round 3 = $2,400,000 1 B- 2 Round 3 (1 bidder submitting bids, provisionally winning bid = $2,400,000) 1. Calculation of additional percentage for round 4: A3 = (0.5 * 1) + (0.5 * 2) = 1.5 I4 = The smaller of [(( 1 + 1.5) * 0.1) = 0.25] and 0.2 (the maximum additional percentage) = 0.2 2. Calculation of dollar amount associated with the additional percentage for round 4 (using I4 from above): X4 = 0.2 * $2,400, 000 = $480,000 3. Minimum acceptable bid amount for round 4 = $2,880,000 2
