GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS (continued)
4. Release and Assignment of Service Rights (continued)
(c)
Bids shall be submitted by potential Replacement Shippers without bidders
knowing the identities of other bidders. Bidders may submit multiple bids, each
higher than the previous bid on the days on which the capacity is posted.
(d)
All bidders must (i) have prequalified under Transporter's creditworthiness
standards, and (ii) appear on Transporter's Approved Bidders List.
(e)
All bids for capacity release transactions of more than one (1) year in length
shall neither exceed the maximum nor be less than the minimum permitted by the
Commission for the released services. Bids for capacity release transactions of
one (1) year or less may exceed the maximum rates but shall not be less than the
minimum rates permitted by the Commission for released services. Bids are
binding, other than contingent bids, until written notice of withdrawal is
received by Transporter. Bids may be withdrawn before the close of the bidding
period. Any bidder that withdraws its bid for release capacity may not, within
that same bidding period, submit a bid at a lower rate for any portion of that
same capacity. Transporter shall communicate an award made pursuant to a
contingency bid by 3:00 p.m. (central clock time) and the contingent bidder must
respond by 4:00 p.m. (central clock time).
(f)
Where higher bids are received for capacity that Releasing Shipper proposes to
release under a prepackaged arrangement that is subject to competitive bidding
because the prearranged price is lower than the maximum rate, (including
prepackaged arrangements for 31 days or less for which Releasing Shipper
requests competitive bidding), the Replacement Shipper designated by Releasing
Shipper (designated Replacement Shipper) shall be notified by Transporter by
3:00 p.m. (central clock time) on the day bidding closes of higher competing
bids and shall have one hour to exercise its right to match the highest
competing bid. For prepackaged arrangements one (1) year or less in length, a
designated Replacement Shipper desiring to exercise the right to match, shall be
required to match the highest competing bid, including bids that may be
submitted in excess of the maximum rate. A Releasing Shipper shall not be able
to specify an extension of the original pre-arranged match period without
posting a new release.
