In addition to the Discounted Rate and/or the Maximum Rate, Shipper will pay any maximum volumetric charge, fuel reimbursement charge and other charges (i.e., ACA, scheduled overrun, penalties, etc.)
approved by FERC under Rate Schedule TF-1 of the Tariff for the Capacity, as the same may be adjusted from time to time with FERC’s approval.
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 only for the posted primary
contract term. The posted capacity will be awarded to the shipper’s bid with the greatest combined net present value.
The net present value of each bid will be combined to determine the highest net present value of the whole package. 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.
