GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
(Continued)
restated on a volumetric basis, or on a percentage basis of the
maximum rate, or for a release on a volumetric basis the volumetric
commitments, and/or any other minimum conditions. The Customer must
state any rates equal to the number of decimal places in the stated
rates per Pipeline's Rate Schedule. Customer may elect not to
reveal such minimum conditions to anyone other than Pipeline until
after finalization of all contractual arrangements or until the
close of the bid period if no bids were submitted.
(i) Customer may choose a "best bid" evaluation method stated in Section
3.14(F). At Customer's option and in lieu of choosing one of the
"best bid" evaluation methods stated in Section 3.14(F), Customer
may state an alternative bid evaluation method. Such bid evaluation
method shall be objectively stated, applicable to all Replacement or
Prearranged Customers and not unduly discriminatory. If Customer
states an alternative bid evaluation method, Pipeline is not held to
the standard release timelines in Section 3.14(B)(1) or 3.14(B)(2),
and the timeline in Section 3.14(B)(3) will apply.
(j) whether contingent bids will be accepted, and, if the contingency is
not eliminated, all details concerning the evaluation of other bids,
(k) if Customer does not desire immediate posting of Customer's Notice
or bids received, Customer shall provide the posting date and time,
insofar as it comports with Section 3.14(B),
(l) expiration of Matching Period if other than Pipeline's default as
outlined in Section 3.14(B) herein, and,
(m) any additional terms and conditions of releases that are objective
and non-discriminatory (e.g. any tie-breaking methodology, agency
agreement requirements, limiting reassignment, changing Point(s) of
Delivery, or indemnification agreement requirements.) In all cases,
however, Customer's specified bid evaluation method must be set
forth with sufficient specificity that the Pipeline's evaluation of
the bids to determine the "best bid" is a purely ministerial matter
that does not require any discretionary exercise of judgment by
Pipeline.
(2) Posting
Any Customer's Notice will be posted on the LINK® System and by electronic
data interchange until the expiration of the Bid Period, except for those
Customers' Notices for capacity release of a duration
