GENERAL TERMS
AND CONDITIONS
7.0 FIRM CAPACITY RELEASE UNDER ORDER NO. 636 (Cont'd)
7.1 General Requirements (cont'd)
(e) Releasing and potential Replacement Shippers have
the right to withdraw capacity releases or bids
for capacity prior to the close of the specified
bidding period when:
- the Releasing Shipper's unanticipated
circumstances justify; and,
- no minimum bid has been made; or,
- the proposed Replacement Shipper's needs for
capacity change under circumstances it could
not anticipate at the time it submitted its bid.
A Releasing Shipper's proposed released capacity
offer is binding until written or EDI notice of
withdrawal is received by Chandeleur. Such
capacity release offer cannot be withdrawn because
the Releasing Shipper is not satisfied with the
bids received or the party submitting the bid, as
long as one bid proposes to match or exceed the
minimum conditions specified in the notice of
release.
A Replacement Shipper's bid for released capacity
is binding until written or EDI notice of
withdrawal is received by Chandeleur. Such bid may
not be withdrawn for the purpose of submitting a
lower bid for the same package of capacity, in
whole or in part. However, bid withdrawals will be
permitted when the withdrawal is for the purpose
of submitting a higher bid for the same package of
capacity, in whole or in part. Bids cannot be
withdrawn after the specified bidding period ends.
(f) Releasing Shippers may consider contingent bids as
long as the release notice specifies the economic
criteria by which such bids will be evaluated.
Such evaluation is for the purpose of 1.)
determining which bid is the best offer, and 2.)
whether and for what time period the second best
bidder will be obligated to acquire the capacity
should the winning bidder exercise its option not
to take the capacity.
