GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
6. Procedures for requesting service (continued)
(b) For purposes of this Section 6, the economic value of a bid is
(1) the total net present value of the reservation charge bid; or
(2) the value determined using the alternative criteria specified by
Transporter in its posting. The net present value shall be computed from the
monthly reservation revenues to be received over the term of the
Transportation Service Agreement, using the discounted cash flow rate of
return methodology, with the rate of discounting, as updated from time to
time, in accordance with 18 CFR 154.501(d).
(c) Capacity will be awarded to the Shipper that submits the bid
with the highest economic value, regardless of whether such bid is a recourse
rate, a discounted recourse rate or a negotiated rate bid; provided that the
bid with the highest value is at a rate that meets or exceeds the lowest rate
that Transporter is willing to accept for the capacity, and further provided
that a bid with a negotiated rate that exceeds the maximum rate will be
considered to be a maximum rate bid for evaluation and award purposes. If
Transporter has indicated in its posting that it is willing to accept
negotiated rate bids, such bids will be evaluated in accordance with the
criteria specified in Transporter's posting and described in Section 21.3 of
the General Terms and Conditions.
(d) Transporter will break ties and determine the winning bid(s) by
providing each of the tying bidders an opportunity to improve their bids by
submitting closed bids via facsimile within 24 hours of notification by
Transporter. If a tie still exists, Transporter will allocate the available
capacity on a pro rata basis to each tying bidder that has indicated in its
bid a willingness to accept a proportionate share of such capacity. A bid to
pay the maximum rate as it may vary from time to time for a given term will be
deemed superior to a bid to pay a specified dollar rate which is equal to the
Maximum Base Tariff Rate.
(e) Transporter will disclose the identity of the bidder making
the best bid. If the best bid is a contingent bid, Transporter will notify the
bidder making the best bid within five (5) business days following the bid
close date. That bidder will have five (5) business days following such
notification to satisfy or waive the contingency for bids of six (6) months or
longer and one (1) business day following such notification to satisfy or
waive the contingency for bids for less than six (6) months, or Transporter
may disregard such bid.
(f) After the economic value of each bid has been determined, and if
the capacity to be allocated to the highest bidder would not result in
awarding all of the available capacity, then Transporter, may award the
remaining capacity based on the economic value of each bid, from highest
economic value to lowest economic value, with the process of awarding capacity
to bidders continuing until all of the capacity has been awarded or until
all valid bids have been accepted.
