GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
Section 29
(Continued)
Pursuant to Section 29.1(C), Gulf South shall post on
the Internet Web Site the winning bid(s) and the
winning bidder'(s) name. The best bid information
shall remain on the Internet Web Site for ninety (90)
days. Capacity Release historical data shall be made
available on a consistent basis from Gulf South,
which shall provide for retrieval of open and closed
offers during the FERC archival period.
(D) "Best Bid"
A Releasing Customer may specify an economic standard for
determining the "best bid", which standard shall be posted
on the Internet Web Site. Except as otherwise provided in
Section 23, any economic standard for determining the "best
bid" specified by a Releasing Customer will only consider
the reservation charge and any applicable reservation
surcharges and must be objectively stated, applicable to all
Potential Customers, and non-discriminatory. Releasing
Customer shall indemnify and hold Gulf South harmless from
and against all demands, claims, causes of action and/or
damages suffered or incurred by Gulf South arising out of or
related to any determination of a "best bid" pursuant to any
economic standard specified, supplied, approved or provided
by Releasing Customer, unless Gulf South's actions in
administering the capacity release program amount to
negligence or willful misconduct. In the event the
Releasing Customer does not specify a standard to be applied
in determining the "best bid", Gulf South will select the
"best bid" based on the bid which generates the highest
present value. Present value will be calculated based on a
discount rate equivalent to a fifteen percent (15%) pre-tax
rate of return for Gulf South. If two or more bids are
equivalent based upon the "best bid" criteria described
above, then the bid with the shortest term will be the
"best bid". If the bids are identical, then the bid
submitted first in time will be designated the "best bid"
unless the Releasing Customer identified an alternate method
when it established the conditions of the release.
