GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(v) Releasing shipper may specify dollars and cents or percents
of maximum tariff rate in the denomination of bids. Once the
choice is made by the releasing shipper, the bids should comport
with the choice.
(vi) For the capacity release business process timing model set
forth in Section 11.2(d) of these General Terms and Conditions,
only the following methodologies are supported by Transporter and
provided to releasing shippers as choices from which they may
select and, once chosen, should be used in determining the awards
from the bid(s) submitted. They are: 1) highest rate, 2) net
revenue and 3) present value. Other choices of bid evaluation
methodology (including other releasing shipper defined evaluation
methodologies) can be accorded similar timeline evaluation
treatment at the discretion of Transporter. However, Transporter
is not required to offer other choices or similar timeline
treatment for other choices, nor, is Transporter held to the
timeline should the releasing shipper elect another method of
evaluation.
(f)(i) Releasing shippers may, to the extent permitted as a condition
of the capacity release, recall released capacity at the Timely, Early
Evening, Evening, Intra-Day 1 and Intra-Day 2 Nomination cycles by
providing notice to the Transporter and the affected Replacement
Shipper(s), via a mutually agreed-upon method, by the following times
for each cycle on the day such Nominations are due: 8 a.m. CCT for the
Timely Nomination cycle; 3:00 p.m. CCT for the Early Evening Nomination
Cycle; 5:00 p.m. CCT for the Evening Nomination Cycle; 7 a.m. CCT for
the Intra-Day 1 Nomination cycle; and 2:30 p.m. CCT for the Intra-Day 2
Nomination cycle. Notification to all affected replacement shippers
provided by Transporter within one hour of receipt of recall
notification. Such notification will confirm that the conditions of
recall have been met and will be accompanied by the scheduling
information required by Section 15.
(ii) When Transporter sends Internet E-mail notification for recalling
of capacity to each affected Replacement Shipper, the subject line of
the E-mail will include the following information separated by commas
in the following order: (1) "Recall", (2) the recall notification
period, (3) the Effective Date in YYYYMMDD format, (4) the name or
abbreviation of Transporter (excluding commas), and (5) Transporter's D-
U-N-S number. The body of such E-mail notification will contain at
least the affected Replacement Shipper's Contract Number, the quantity
of capacity being recalled, and the Offer Number or Award Number, if
necessary to uniquely identify the capacity being recalled. Where
supported by Transporter, for recalls that are effective at non-
standard times, the appropriate recall notification period will be
included in the subject line and the effective time of the recall will
be in the body of the E-mail. Recall notifications by Transporter by
other mechanisms in addition to Internet E-mail will include at least
the same level of information.
