O.C. 471-2004, s. 3.

DIVISION II DISPOSAL BY PUBLIC TENDER

4. The disposal of an immovable of a school board having a value exceeding $100,000 must be made through a public call for tenders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the immovable is enclosed, it may be disposed of through a written invitation to tender to the owners of the adjacent immovables or, if only 1 owner is concerned, by agreement.

O.C. 471-2004, s. 4.

5. A public call for tenders shall be published in French

The period for receiving tenders may not be less than 4 weeks.

The date, time and place fixed for submitting and opening tenders shall be indicated in the public call for tenders. The opening of tenders shall be public.

The tender documents shall state that the school board is not bound to accept any tender.

(2)  the school board may, if it does not ask for the authorization referred to in subparagraph 1, entrust the sale of the immovable to a real estate broker.

Where all the bids received by the real estate broker are below the value of the immovable, the Minister may authorize the school board to dispose of the immovable to the highest bidder.

O.C. 471-2004, s. 6.

DIVISION III DISPOSAL BY AGREEMENT TO CERTAIN BODIES

Notwithstanding the foregoing, such an authorization is conditional on the insertion in the contract of sale of a right of first refusal clause in favour of the school board, under which the body shall, if it wishes to dispose of the immovable, first offer it to the school board at the price the body initially paid.
