GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
3. REQUESTS FOR SERVICE/CREDIT EVALUATIONS (Continued)
3.2 Available Capacity. (Continued)
(b) Unsubscribed Capacity. Transporter will post unsubscribed
capacity on its Internet website. A requestor that submits a
valid request may submit a bid for the unsubscribed capacity
subsequent to Transporter's posting of such capacity on the
website. The Bid Period will be a minimum of 1 business day for
capacity available for up to one month; a minimum of 3 business
days for capacity available for greater than one month but less
than one year; and a minimum of 5 business days for capacity
available for one year or more. All bids not withdrawn prior to
the close of the Bidding Period shall be binding. At the end of
the Bidding Period, Transporter will evaluate any bids submitted
and determine the bid(s) having the greatest economic value as
determined in Section 3.2(c).
If no bids are submitted, or if Transporter does not accept any
bid(s), Transporter will award such capacity on a first-come,
first-served basis to shippers that offer the maximum recourse
rate or an acceptable discounted or negotiated rate.
(c) Valuation of Bids. Unless otherwise specified in its open season
posting, when evaluating bids for firm capacity with terms of less
than one year, the bid(s) with the greatest economic value will be
the bid(s) with the highest net present value ("NPV") based on (1)
the reservation charge and any proposed usage charge revenues
guaranteed by a minimum volume commitment or otherwise that
requestor(s) would pay at the rates the requestor(s) has bid, and
(2) the term of service specified in the request. If the economic
values of separate bids are equal, then service shall be offered
to such requestors on a pro-rata basis.
The NPV is the discounted cash flow of the bid according to the
following formula, net of revenues lost or affected by the
requests for service:
n
(1 + i) - 1
Present Value per = P * R *______________
n
i(1 + i)
