PROCEDURE FOR BIDDING AND AWARDING
THE POSTED CAPACITY

Northwest will only accept electronic bids (see instructions below) for all of the posted 
package(s) of available transportation capacity.
  
Duplicate bids will be discarded. Maximum rate bids will be accepted for any primary 
contract term, subject to available capacity. The posted capacity will be awarded to the 
shipper's bid with the greatest economic value, subject to the pre-arranged shipper's one-
time right to match the highest bid(s).

The economic value of each bid will be determined on a present value basis. In case 
of a tie, each tied shipper will have the right to improve its bid by submitting an
improved bid within 24 hours of the bid close time.  Such improved bids shall be
submitted electronically through Northwest Passage.


If a tie still exists, such capacity shall be awarded on a pro-rata basis to the shippers 
indicating a willingness to accept a pro-rata share. All bidding and awarding will be 
conducted in accordance with sections 25.3 and 25.4 of Northwest's Tariff.
