GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(ii) If firm capacity is available for only an
interim period for any reason (e.g., because the firm capacity is
already contracted at a future date after such interim period or the
firm capacity is only available physically or operationally for that
interim period), then Trailblazer may limit the rights of the
Shipper awarded the capacity for that interim period. Trailblazer
will indicate in any open season posting for such capacity the
limitation on rights which will apply to such firm capacity awarded
for the interim period.
(c) EVALUATION OF COMPETING BIDS AND REQUESTS
In comparing valid bids received in an open season or in
comparing two or more valid and competing pending requests for
service under the Request Procedure, Trailblazer will award firm
capacity based on the highest economic value, as defined in this
Section 6.1(c).
(1) HIGHEST ECONOMIC VALUE
The highest economic value is the highest net
present value of the stream of incremental revenue produced by a
valid bid or request, or combination of valid bids or requests,
received by Trailblazer for firm capacity which is consistent with
the reserve price where one has been established. Incremental
revenue is the additional revenue Trailblazer would collect from a
Shipper under any bid or request over and above the revenue
Trailblazer would otherwise have received after taking into account
any revenue lost or affected by the bid or request (i.e., where an
existing capacity holder submits a bid or request which is
contingent upon turnback by that existing capacity holder of an
existing capacity commitment, only the value of such a bid or
request net of the revenue which would be lost to Trailblazer due to
the turnback of the existing contractual commitment will be
considered).
(2) ONLY GUARANTEED REVENUE CONSIDERED
In the determination of highest economic value,
Trailblazer shall consider only reservation charge revenue and any
other guaranteed revenue under bids or requests which meet any
applicable reserve price. In the case of a bid or request for firm
service involving a Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate Formula, the
rules on calculating net present value set out in Section 38.2 of
these General Terms and Conditions shall apply.
