GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
40.5 Bids
(a) During the open season, a Shipper desiring to bid on released
capacity must use WTG Hugoton's website to post all valid bids, listing all
pertinent terms and conditions of the valid bids. Valid bids shall be
partially executed Service Agreements. Any acquiring Shipper must meet WTG
Hugoton's creditworthiness requirements pursuant to Section 40 of the GENERAL
TERMS AND CONDITIONS of this Tariff.
(b) Bids for released capacity shall be binding until written or
electronic notice of withdrawal is received by WTG Hugoton. A bidder may not
withdraw a bid for the released capacity after the bid period ends. Once a
bidder has withdrawn its bid, the bidder may only submit a new bid for that
released capacity at a higher rate.
(c) WTG Hugoton shall allocate available capacity to the best bid first
and continue allocating until all offered capacity is awarded. Unless the
releasing Shipper has specified otherwise, in the event equivalent bids are
submitted, the capacity will be made available on a pro rata basis to the
equal bidders. Should any one of the equal bidders veto the pro rata
allocation of the capacity, WTG Hugoton will conduct a lottery to select the
winning bidder, who will then be allocated its requested capacity. The
remainder will be available to the other bidder(s) on a pro rata basis, which
may again trigger the veto/lottery selection process. The price cap for
capacity release transactions shall be the maximum tariff rates, except for
capacity release transactions of less than one year unless modified by FERC
policy or regulation.
