(a)
The bonds, or any part thereof, may be issued and sold as the board determines.
(b)
Before selling the bonds, or any part thereof, the board may give notice inviting sealed bids in such manner as the board may prescribe. If satisfactory bids are received, the bonds offered for sale shall be awarded to the highest responsible bidder. If no bids are received, or if the board determines that the bids received are not satisfactory as to price or responsibility of the bidders, the board may reject all bids received, if any, and either readvertise or sell the bonds at private sale.
(c)
In the alternative, the board may, if it determines that to do so would produce a lower interest cost on the bonds, sell bonds at a private sale without first advertising for bids.
