GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
----------------------------
(b) The volume in a Qualified Bid may not be less than
the minimum volume required for an Eligible Firm Transportation
Agreement under KMLP's Tariff. Neither the volume nor the release
term specified in a Qualified Bid may exceed the maximum volume or
term specified in a Capacity Release Request, unless the Capacity
Release Request specifically allows otherwise. A Qualified Bidder
must accept all the terms and conditions of a Capacity Release
Request submitted under Section 14.4 (involving a Prearranged
Release) except for the level of the reservation charge and the MDQ
and/or Point MDQ, unless the Capacity Release Request specifically
allows otherwise.
(c) Except as provided herein for releases for a term of
more than one (1) year, a Qualified Bidder may not bid rates which
would exceed KMLP's maximum reservation charge applicable to the
Eligible Firm Transportation Agreement capacity. If the Releasing
Shipper is paying a Negotiated Rate or a rate under a Negotiated
Rate Formula pursuant to Section 30 of these General Terms and
Conditions, a Qualified Bidder may not bid a rate which exceeds the
higher of: (i) the rate under the Negotiated Rate or Negotiated Rate
Formula in the Releasing Shipper's contract; or (ii) the applicable
Recourse Rate. The maximum Qualified Bid reservation charge includes
all demand surcharges, including all direct-billed charges which are
or may become applicable to the Eligible Firm Transportation
Agreement capacity.
(d) All Qualified Bids shall provide for payment of
maximum commodity charges under KMLP's Tariff for the capacity bid,
as well as all other applicable add-on charges and surcharges under
KMLP's Tariff, such as, but not limited to, ACA, Unaccounted For
Gas, Line Heater Gas and Fuel Gas (if applicable subject to
compression being installed).
(e) A Qualified Bid received by KMLP during an open
season shall be posted by KMLP on its Interactive Website system,
without the name of the Qualified Bidder. A Qualified Bid may be
withdrawn by the Qualified Bidder prior to the close of the open
season, but may not be withdrawn thereafter. Following such
withdrawal, the Qualified Bidder cannot bid for the same capacity
during the open season at a lower rate.
(f) All Qualified Bids must be consistent with all
provisions of KMLP's Tariff. Any Qualified Bid inconsistent with
KMLP's Tariff or the applicable Capacity Release Request shall be
null and void.
