GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(continued)
(a) Acceptable Bids -- Transporter shall review all bids on a not unduly
discriminatory basis and determine which bids, if any, are
acceptable. Transporter shall have no obligation to accept any bid
at less than maximum rate. To the extent Transporter elects to
accept bids at other than the maximum rate, Transporter shall award
the capacity or portion thereof based on the request with the
highest present value of the reservation charges for the subject
capacity. Transporter shall prorate the available capacity among
requests yielding an equivalent net present value. Further,
Transporter shall have no obligation to accept any bid if
Transporter is unable to provide the requested capacity and service
without adversely affecting the availability of total firm capacity
on Transporter's system.
(b) If no bids acceptable to Transporter are received, Transporter will
notify Existing Shipper of the maximum bids received or the fact
that no bids were received. Transporter will then negotiate with
the Existing Shipper with regard to the rate, term, and other
conditions under which Transporter will continue to provide service
to the Existing Shipper. Such negotiations will continue for a 30-
day period commencing on the date that Transporter informs the
Existing Shipper that it has received no acceptable bids. The
Existing Shipper will have the right, in the absence of any bids
acceptable to Transporter, to retain the right to capacity and
service by offering within the 30-day negotiation period to acquire
the capacity at the maximum rate applicable to such capacity for
such term as Shipper specifies, provided that if Shipper specifies a
term of less than one year, then such agreement shall be subject to
pregranted abandonment as provided herein.
An existing Shipper may reduce its contract quantity through the
Right-of-First Refusal process provided that such a reduction of
contract quantity is either by a uniform percentage reduction for
each season or by the same absolute amount in each season, in
accordance with the Order issued on July 14, 2000 in Docket No.
RP00-212-000.
4. If Transporter notifies the Existing Shipper of an acceptable bid or bids
received pursuant to Section 20B.3 above, the Existing Shipper will have 30
days following the date of such notice to provide Transporter notice of the
Existing Shipper's decision to match the terms of the best acceptable bid
for such capacity, including the rate and
