GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
2. Making another comparable showing that the negotiated
rate contributes more to fixed costs on the system than could have been
achieved without the negotiated rate.
(c) Overthrust shall also have the right to seek discount
adjustments in future rate cases at the greater of (a) the negotiated-rate
revenues received or (b) the discounted recourse-rate revenues that otherwise
would have been received under a pre-existing Part 284 service agreement.
31.5 Bidding for Firm Capacity. Overthrust and Shipper may negotiate,
and post for competitive bidding, a rate that exceeds the applicable maximum
reservation rate. If competing bids under § 7 of the General Terms and
Conditions reflect different rate forms, i.e., negotiated rates vs. recourse
rates, Overthrust shall award the capacity, or portion, using the evaluation
criteria of § 7 of these General Terms and Conditions; the negotiated
reservation charge reflected in such evaluation criteria may not exceed the
maximum applicable recourse rate. Overthrust will calculate this value based
only on the reservation charge or similar guaranteed revenue stream.
31.6 Agreements Subject to the Right of First Refusal. For purposes
of § 9 of these General Terms and Conditions, the highest rate that a Shipper
must match in order to continue to receive service is the maximum rate set
forth on the Statement of Rates that is applicable to such service. For
purposes of evaluating bids under § 9, the value of the bid will be based
only on the reservation charge or similar guaranteed revenue stream.
31.7 Capacity Release. Overthrust and Shipper may, in connection with
their agreement to a negotiated rate under a firm transportation rate
schedule, agree upon payment obligations and crediting mechanisms in the
event that capacity release provisions vary from or are in addition to those
set forth in § 8 of these General Terms and Conditions. This provision, in
and of itself, does not allow Overthrust and Shipper to negotiate the terms
and conditions of service.
31.8 Capacity Scheduling. For purposes of allocating capacity under §
15 of these General Terms and Conditions, a Shipper paying a negotiated rate
that exceeds the maximum rate for that service will be considered to have
paid the maximum rate for such service.
