GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
28.3 Customer shall not be obligated to pay BLUEWATER
reservation charges for any suspended services during any period
of suspension pursuant to Section 28.2.
29. POLICY WITH RESPECT TO FEES AND CONSTRUCTION OF NEW
FACILITIES
29.1 Except as provided in Section 29.2 herein, Customer
shall reimburse BLUEWATER (a) for the costs of any facilities
installed by BLUEWATER with Customer's consent to receive,
measure, store or deliver Gas for Customer's account and (b) for
any and all filings and approval fees required in connection with
Customer's Storage Service Agreement that BLUEWATER is obligated
to pay to the Commission or any other governmental authority
having jurisdiction. Any reimbursement due BLUEWATER by Customer
pursuant to this Section 29.1 shall be due and payable to
BLUEWATER within ten (10) days of receipt by Customer of
BLUEWATER's invoice(s) for same; provided, however, that subject
to BLUEWATER's consent, such reimbursement, plus carrying charges
thereon, may be amortized over a mutually agreeable period not to
extend beyond the primary contract term of the Storage Service
Agreement between BLUEWATER and Customer. Carrying charges shall
be computed utilizing interest factors acceptable to both
BLUEWATER and Customer.
29.2 BLUEWATER may waive from time to time, at its discretion,
all or a portion of the facility cost reimbursement requirement
set forth in Section 29.1 for Rate Schedules FSS, NNSS, FP and FL
if Customer provides BLUEWATER adequate assurances to make
construction of the facilities economical to BLUEWATER. All
requests for waiver shall be handled by BLUEWATER in a manner
which is not unduly discriminatory. For purposes of determining
whether a project is economical, BLUEWATER will evaluate projects
on the basis of various economic criteria, which will include the
estimated cost of the facilities, operating and maintenance as
well as administrative and general expenses attributable to the
facilities, the revenues BLUEWATER estimates will be generated as
a result of such construction, and the availability of capital
funds on terms and conditions acceptable to BLUEWATER. In
estimating the revenues to be generated, BLUEWATER will evaluate
the existence of capacity limitations downstream of the
facilities, the marketability of the capacity, the Interruptible
versus the firm nature of the service, and other similar factors
which impact whether the available capacity will actually be
utilized.
