(d) Bid Evaluation Methods. All bids received will be evaluated
pursuant to one of the following methods:
(i) Present Value Calculation. Releasing Shipper may elect
to have all bids evaluated and ranked pursuant to a
Present Value Calculation, as follows:
1 - (1 + i)^-n
R x ----------- x V = present value
i
where: i = interest rate. Transporter's return on
equity in its currently effective rates
n = term of the release
R = the Reservation Rate bid
V = quantity stated in Dth
(ii) Highest Rate. Releasing Shipper may elect to have bids
evaluated on the basis of the highest Reservation Rate
bid;
(iii) Net Revenue. Releasing Shipper may elect to have bids
evaluated on the basis of the total Reservation
Rate-based revenues received over the term of the
release;
(iv) Releasing Shipper's Criteria. Releasing Shipper may at
the time of posting of the notice of release specify how
bids are to be evaluated to determine which offer is the
best. The criteria must be objectively stated,
applicable to all potential bidders, and
nondiscriminatory. The criteria can contain provisions
that allow for weighting of factors such as quantity,
term, and rate; however, Transporter will not accept
first bidder meeting minimum acceptable terms of the
release as a valid bid evaluation methodology. If bid
evaluation criteria are provided by the Releasing
Shipper, Transporter is not obligated to comply with the
NAESB Timeline as specified in Section 9.5(c), hereof,
but will evaluate the bids promptly in conformance with
the timeline specified in Section 9.5(b), hereof.
