PROCEDURE FOR BIDDING AND AWARDING THE POSTED CAPACITY
Northwest will only accept electronic bids (see instructions below) for
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.
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 General Terms and Conditions
Section 25 of Northwest’s Tariff.
