GENERAL TERMS
AND CONDITIONS
7.0 FIRM CAPACITY RELEASE UNDER ORDER NO. 636 (Cont'd)
7.6 Chandeleur Will Accept Only Bona Fide Offers
Chandeleur will treat bids from current
Shippers, from Shippers on Chandeleur's firm or
interruptible transportation service request
queues who are not currently shipping, and from
prequalified bidders as bona fide offers. These
classes of bidders have met Chandeleur's
creditworthiness requirements pursuant to Section
17 of the General Terms and Conditions. Potential
Replacement Shippers who have not met Chandeleur's
creditworthiness requirements must prepay for
those services for which they are submitting bids.
With respect to bids from this latter class of
Shippers, Chandeleur will require that a bid for a
capacity release longer than three months be
accompanied by a wire transfer of three (3) months
prepayments of Reservation Charges for the
capacity the potential Replacement Shipper is
attempting to acquire. If the potential
Replacement Shipper is bidding on a short-term
(less than three months) release, Chandeleur will
require that such offer be accompanied by wire
transfer of full prepayment for the capacity the
prospective Shipper is attempting to acquire.
Wire transfer must follow the bid within one (1)
business day for the bid to be considered valid.
Bids will be posted on Chandeleur's internet
website by 9:00 a.m. Central Time on the day after
the wire transfer is received. In the event the
Shipper is unsuccessful in its attempt to acquire
released capacity, Chandeleur will refund the
prepayment to the unsuccessful Shipper with
interest computed pursuant to Section 154.67(c) of
the Commission's regulations. In the event the
Shipper is successful the prepayment will be
credited to the first three (3) months' bills. In
the event the Shipper is the successful bidder,
but fails to ship any or only a part of the
capacity acquired, the Shipper will forfeit to
Chandeleur all or the remainder of the unused
Reservation Charges that have been prepaid to
Chandeleur.
