GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
(g) Bids are binding, other than contingent bids, until written or
electronic notice of withdrawal is received. Bids may be withdrawn before
the close of the bidding period. Any bidder that withdraws its bid for
released capacity may not, within that same bidding period, submit a bid at a
lower rate for any portion of that same capacity.
(h) Where higher bids are received for capacity that Releasor
proposes to release under a prepackaged arrangement that is subject to
competitive bidding (including prepackaged arrangements for 31 days or less
for which Releasor requests competitive bidding), the Replacement Shipper
designated by Releasor (designated Replacement Shipper) shall be notified by
Transporter and shall exercise its right to match the highest competing bid
in accordance with the Capacity Release timeline under Section 14(c) above.
For pre-packaged arrangements of one (1) year or less in length, a designated
Replacement Shipper shall be required to match the highest competing bid,
including bids that may be submitted in excess of the maximum rate. A
Releasor shall not be able to specify an extension of the original pre-
arranged match period without posting a new release.
14.4 Evaluation of Bids and Assigning Service Rights.
(a) Transporter shall perform the evaluation of bids in accordance
with the criteria specified in the Release Notice and shall determine which,
if any, bids to accept.
(b) In the absence of any such Releasor-developed alternative
criteria to the contrary, as specified in Releasor's Release Notice, bids
shall be evaluated and rights to released capacity assigned by Transporter in
accordance with the bid evaluation criteria referenced at Section 14.1(c).
