20. CAPACITY RELEASE (Continued)
holding a lottery using a computerized random number generator
unless the releasing Shipper specifies another non-discriminatory
method for determining the winning bid.
A Releasing Shipper may specify and request Transporter to post
to the EBB and/or Designated Site an objectively stated,
nondiscriminatory standard for Transporter to use in determining
the best bid(s), including the criteria to be used by Transporter
in evaluating volumetric bid(s) and, subject to Section 20.2(j),
repackaged bids. If Releasing Shipper provides insufficient
criteria for Transporter to use in evaluating volumetric rate
bid(s), Transporter will evaluate volumetric bids based on the
rate which is bid, or, in the case of services for which multiple
bids are required, the sum of such bids.
(i) At Releasing Shipper's request using reasonable, objective
criteria for repackaging, Transporter may repackage bids for the
same release to maximize the economic value of the released
capacity, i.e., discrete bids for portions or segments of the
released capacity may be repackaged for evaluation; provided,
however that Transporter shall be under no obligation to
repackage bids if Transporter determines that such repackaging is
not administratively or operationally feasible.
(j) A Replacement Shipper or Prearranged Replacement Shipper
must comply with Section 11.2 of the General Terms and Conditions
of this tariff. Such Shipper must submit a request for
pre-qualification for credit as a Shipper to Transporter in order
to expedite implementation of capacity release service. For
releases of less than one year, a Replacement Shipper or
Prearranged Replacement Shipper may not submit a bid where the
economic value exceeds that Shipper's established credit limit.
For releases of one year or more, if a Replacement Shipper or
Prearranged Replacement Shipper submits a bid where the economic
value exceeds that Shipper's established credit limit, that
Shipper must provide sufficient documentation to assure
Transporter of that Shipper's ability to pay for the service in
excess of the established credit limit within one (1) day after
notification that Shipper's bid will be acceptable contingent
upon Shipper's demonstration of its ability to pay to
Transporter's satisfaction.
