GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
6. CAPACITY RELEASE BY FIRM SHIPPERS (Continued)
(c) The combination of Qualified Bid(s) with the highest
possible total Bid Value (Winning Bid Value) for the capacity in the
Capacity Release Request shall be the winning Qualified Bid(s). A
Qualified Bid may be allocated less than its Maximum Bid Volume, but
in no event shall the Qualified Bid be allocated less than its Minimum Bid
Volume. It is recognized that this procedure is intended to result in the
highest possible total Bid Value for the Releasing Shipper consistent with the
Qualified Bids, and it is possible that a Qualified Bid with the highest
individual Unit Bid Value may be rejected partially or in its entirety.
(d) If there is more than one combination of Qualified Bids with
a total Bid Value equal to the Winning Bid Value this Section 6.10(d) provides
the procedure for selecting just one such combination, and thereby the winning
Qualified Bid(s).
Subject to the provisions in Sections 6.10(d)(i), (ii) and
(iii) below, the selection of winning Qualified Bid(s) among Qualified Bids
(or combinations thereof) of equal Winning Bid Value is based on the following
order of preference: (i) pro rata, if possible; (ii) preference for a
Qualified Bid with the highest Maximum Bid Volume; (iii) preference for a
Qualified Bid with the lowest Minimum Bid Volume; and (iv) first come, first
served.
The specific Qualified Bid selection procedure is as
follows:
(i) Identify the Winning Bid Value. If there is only one
Qualified Bid, or combination of Qualified Bids, which create the Winning Bid
Value, such Qualified Bid(s) shall be awarded the released capacity.
(ii) In order to break ties, identify all Qualified Bids
which, alone or in combination with other Qualified Bids, can create the
Winning Bid Value. Rank order these Qualified Bids in order of their Unit Bid
Value from highest to lowest. Allocate the Capacity Release Request capacity
first to the Maximum Bid Volume of each Qualified Bid with the highest Unit
Bid Value; allocate any remainder to the Maximum Bid Volume of each Qualified
Bid with the next highest Unit Bid Value; and so forth. If, at any step, the
available Capacity Release Request capacity is less than the combined Maximum
Bid Volumes of Qualified Bids with equal Unit Bid Values, then the Capacity
Release Request capacity shall be allocated on a pro rata basis to each
Qualified Bid based on its Maximum Bid Volume.
