22. AVAILABLE CAPACITY (Continued)
22.4 Awarding (Continued)
(c) Transporter will break ties and determine the winning bid(s) by
providing each of the tying bidders an opportunity to improve their
bids by submitting closed bids via facsimile within 24 hours of
notification by Transporter. If a tie still exists, Transporter
will allocate the available capacity on a pro rata basis to each
tying bidder that has indicated in its bid a willingness to accept
a proportionate share of such capacity. A bid to pay the maximum
rate as it may vary from time to time for a given term will be
deemed superior to a bid to pay a specified dollar rate which is
equal to the Maximum Currently Effective Rate.
(d) Transporter will not disclose the identity of the bidder making
the best bid. If the best bid is a contingent bid, Transporter
will notify the bidder making the best bid within five (5) business
days following the bid close date. That bidder will have five (5)
business days following such notification to satisfy or waive the
contingency for bids of six (6) months or longer and one (1)
business day following such notification to satisfy or waive the
contingency for bids for less than six (6) months, or Transporter
may disregard such bid.
(e) After the incremental economic value of each bid has been
determined, and if the capacity to be allocated to the highest
bidder would not result in awarding all of the available capacity,
then Transporter, subject to Sections 22.5 and 22.6, may award the
remaining capacity based on the incremental economic value of each
bid, from highest economic value to lowest economic value, with the
process of awarding capacity to bidders continuing until all of the
capacity has been awarded or until all valid bids have been
accepted.
(f) For any capacity offered under this Section 22, the successful
bidder(s) and Transporter will execute a new service agreement or
amendment prior to the commencement of service which confirms the
terms of the accepted bid(s) for the available capacity.
(g) Capacity that is not awarded at the end of the aggregate bid
and award period will be available on a first-come, first-served
basis using facsimile time stamps,
