accept for evaluation bids for this capacity from the
time of posting up to and including, but no later
than, the forty-fifth (45) day prior to the date the
existing Agreement is scheduled to expire. After the
close of the bid period, Midwest will evaluate the
bids according to the formula set forth in Section
8.4(d)(i) of Rate Schedule FSS to determine the bid
which has the greatest economic value. For the
purpose of this evaluation, no bid term may exceed 20

the date bidding ends, Midwest will notify Shipper of
the bid received having the greatest economic value.

notify Midwest whether it will match the rate and term

will execute a new service Agreement matching the
offer prior to the termination of the existing
Agreement. Midwest, shall not, however, be obligated
to enter into an extension of any Agreement or

maximum applicable rates in effect at the time of
renewal, nor shall Midwest be obligated to enter into
an extension of any Replacement Shipper who fails to
meet the Creditworthiness requirements set forth in
Section 12.5 of these General Terms and Conditions.

maximum applicable rates, nor shall Midwest be
obligated to enter into an agreement with any bidder
who fails to meet the Creditworthiness requirements
set forth in Section 12.5 of these General Terms and
Conditions.
If no bids are received, Shipper may continue to
receive service under a new Agreement for whatever
