GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (Continued)
(b) The deadlines set forth in this Section 17.6 are only applicable
if (i) all the information provided by the parties to the
transaction is valid and the Replacement Shipper has been
determined to be creditworthy before the capacity release bid is
tendered; and (ii) there are no special terms or conditions of the
release. If the Releasing Shipper specifies a bid evaluation
methodology other than highest rate, net revenue or present value,
or any other special terms or conditions, the above timeline shall
apply; provided, however, one additional Business Day will be
added to the evaluation period. Such extended evaluation period
shall cause gas flow to be at least one day later than gas could
flow under the timeline set forth in Section 17.6(a).
17.7 Determination of Successful Bidder of Transportation Rights
(a) Bid Evaluation Methodologies: The Releasing Shipper shall specify
in the Release Request one of the following bid evaluation
methodologies: (i) highest rate, (ii) net revenue, or (iii)
present value. A Release Request submitted specifying one of
these methods shall be accorded the timeline treatment described
in Section 17.6. Releasing Shipper may choose another bid
evaluation method; however, such request shall be accorded the
timeline treatment described in Section 17.6(b). Transporter
shall apply the method chosen to determine the successful Bidder.
Transporter shall reject any bid that does not meet the minimum
bid rate(s), minimum Release Quantity or minimum term specified in
the Release Request. Transporter's application of Releasing
Shipper's bid evaluation method shall result in as many successful
Bidders as mandated thereby, provided that the volumes released to
each successful Bidder shall be no less than one Dekatherm. If
the Releasing Shipper desires to award to more than one winner,
the Releasing Shipper should allow for the acceptance of partial
MDTQ bids.
(b) If the present value method is chosen, then Transporter shall
determine the bid or bids having the highest net present value
("PV") based on the following formula:
-n
PV = (Bid Rate) x (Bid Quantity) x ((1-(1+i) ) / i)
where
Bid Rate = the daily reservation charge that the Bidder has
agreed to pay.
Bid Quantity = the Released Maximum Daily Transportation Quantity
stated in the Bid.
