28.4 BEST OFFER
Transporter will determine which bid constitutes the best offer
by determining the highest economic unit value (per Dth of
capacity) to Transporter. A calculation based on the formula
and interest rate set forth in Section. 31.2 will be used to
determine the highest economic unit value. The comparative
economic unit value of each bid will be determined by
calculating the Net Present Value (NPV) of the reservation
charges or other form of revenue guarantee of each offer over
either the term of the offer or five (5) years, whichever is
less, and then dividing by the quantity of the respective bid.
However, if the bid is at maximum rate and the term is more than
five (5) years, the entire term will be considered in
determining the economic unit value. For a Shipper's bid with a
reservation rate or other form of revenue guarantee which
exceeds the maximum Recourse Rate during all or any portion of
the bid term, the NPV calculated for the bid may not exceed the
NPV calculated assuming that the maximum Recourse Rate shall be
in effect during the full term of the bid.
In the event equivalent offers 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 their pro rata
allocation of the capacity, Transporter will then conduct a
lottery to select the winning bidder, who will then, if the bid
is not matched under Section 28.5 below, be allotted its
requested capacity. The remainder of said capacity, if any,
will be available to the other equal bidder(s) on a pro rata
basis, which will again trigger the veto/lottery selection
process.
Transporter will post the name of the winning bidder of the
capacity for a period of no less than five (5) work days.
