GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR SERVICES - continued
Multiple bids (defined as different bids made for
different portions of the total capacity) will be
permitted.
18.4 BEST OFFER
Transporter will determine which bid constitutes the
best offer by determining the highest economic unit
value (per Dth of capacity) to Transporter. A
calculation based on the formula and interest rate set
forth in Section 23.5 will be used to determine the
highest economic unit value. The comparative economic
unit value of each bid will be determined by
calculating the Net Present Value (NPV) of the
reservation charges of each offer over either the term
of the offer or five (5) years, whichever is less, and
then dividing by the quantity of the respective bid.
However, if the bid is at maximum rate and the term is
more than five (5) years, the entire term will be
considered in determining the economic unit value.
In the event equivalent offers are submitted, the
capacity will be made available on a pro rata basis to
the equal bidders. Should any one of the equal bidders
veto their pro rata allocation of the capacity,
Transporter will then conduct a lottery to select the
winning bidder, who will then, if the bid is not
matched under Section 18.5 below, be allotted its
requested capacity. The remainder of said capacity, if
any, will be available to the other equal bidder(s) on
a pro rata basis, which will again trigger the
veto/lottery selection process.
Transporter will post the name of the winning bidder of
the gas for a period of no less than five (5) work
days.
