If, upon the call for oral bidding, any person offers to purchase the property upon the terms and conditions specified in the resolution, for a price exceeding by at least 5 percent the highest written or previous oral proposal that is made by a responsible person, that higher bid shall be designated as the highest responsible bid if the oral bid is reduced to writing and signed by the offeror and accompanied by a cashier’s check or by cash in an amount not less than fifty thousand dollars ($50,000).
2. (2) After determining the highest responsible bidder, the Board of Education shall offer the Old Ranch Road School site described in subdivision (b) to the conservancy at the price indicated in the highest responsible bid as determined in subdivision (c) and this subdivision, but at a price not less than one million four hundred thousand dollars ($1,400,000).

4. (4) If the executive director of the conservancy does not, within the 10-day period described in this subdivision, indicate his or her intention to exercise the right to purchase the property, the Board of Education may convey the property to the highest responsible bidder.

5. (5) Should the executive director of the conservancy indicate an intention to exercise the right to purchase within the 10-day period, but fail to pay the Board of Education the purchase price by warrant of the State of California or cashier’s check within the six-month period, or the executive director of the conservancy fails to exercise the right to purchase within the 10-day period and the property is purchased by the highest responsible bidder, the executive director of the conservancy shall execute a waiver and release in accordance with subdivision (a) for the Old Ranch Road site as described in subdivision (b).
