(1) Revenue bonds payable from funds which result from the revenues derived from the operation of solid waste management facilities and from any revenues which may be pledged under s. 14, Art. VII of the State Constitution, and s. 403.1834, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any legally available revenues derived from public or private sources, may be issued by the Division of Bond Finance of the State Board of Administration on behalf of the state or any county or municipality in the manner provided by the State Bond Act, ss. 215.57 et seq., except as otherwise provided herein, and the Revenue Bond Act of 1953, as amended, part I, chapter 159. Such bonds shall be issued only to finance the cost of construction or maintenance of solid waste management facilities, which cost may include the acquisition of real property and easements therein for such purposes, and the closure of solid waste landfills.
(2) Upon a determination by the Division of Bond Finance of the State Board of Administration that a public competitive sale is not feasible or that it would not be desirable to award such revenue bonds solely on the basis of the lowest net interest cost bid, the Division of Bond Finance may negotiate the sale of any such revenue bonds after the receipt of one or more proposals, taking into consideration the lowest total cost and such other factors as may be deemed appropriate.
