binding contract.
2. The name of the bidder will not be revealed on Pipeline's EBB unless the bidder

23.3 Evaluating Bids.
A. Pipeline shall determine the "best bid," in accordance with the nondiscriminatory
criteria posted by Releasing Customer in the Release Notice; provided, however, that
Pipeline shall reject any bid which does not match any single minimum specification
of the posted notice. If there are multiple bids meeting minimum conditions,
Pipeline will award the bids, best bid first, until all offered capacity is awarded.

price, discounted over the bid term by the effective Commission interest
rate.
2. Net Revenue Method. The value of the bid quantity, multiplied by the bid
price.
3. An alternate objective method chosen by Releasing Customer, and specified in
the posted notice. Such method must be objectively stated, applicable to all
bidders, and not unduly discriminatory. Such method must be stated with
sufficient specificity to enable Pipeline to reasonably determine and apply
the method or formula to be used, in order to rank all bids received,
utilizing the elements contained in the Bid Agreement. Such alternate method
shall not be subject to the timeline specified in Section 23.2.B., above;
Pipeline and Releasing Customer shall determine a mutually-agreeable
timeline, appropriate under the circumstances, prior to posting the notice of
such offer. The applicable timeline must be included in the posted notice.
