GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
6. RIGHT OF FIRST REFUSAL AT EXPIRATION OR RENEGOTIATION OF AGREEMENTS
(cont'd)
6.2 Procedure
Southern Star will post the availability of capacity under an
expiring or terminating service agreement on its electronic
bulletin board together with all applicable terms (including
quantity and maximum rate) six months prior to the expiration or
termination of any such service agreement, however, if the
termination notice period under a service agreement is less than
six months, Southern Star shall post the availability of such
capacity after either party provides the other with a notice of
termination. Such posting shall state the bid closing date and
will remain on the bulletin board for at least one month. Bids
for such capacity may be for less than the total amount of the
capacity available.
The best bid shall be that bid which Southern Star determines,
after consideration of the elements of the bid, including but not
limited to, term, quantity, and rate(s), provides the greatest
economic value, after discounting for net present value. Southern
Star will evaluate the net present value of any bid using a
discount rate equal to the interest rate applicable to pipeline
refunds pursuant to Section 154.501 of the Commission's
regulations or successor regulation. A bid to pay the maximum
rate for a given term will be deemed superior to a bid to pay a
specified dollar rate, which is equal to the currently effective
maximum rate, for the same term, if other elements of the bids are
the same. In the event of a tie, the best bid first received by
Southern Star will be the best bid.
