The winning shipper will have the opportunity to request segmented service rights for up to 49,999 Dth/d on existing transportation capacity and/or the posted capacity outlined above (East Hamilton Capacity), subject to (i) an extension of at least two (2) additional years of the East Hamilton Capacity, and (ii) available capacity as described in Section 25.5(c) of the GT&C. If the awarded primary term is at least a five-year term, then only a one-year extension will be required in order to request the segmented service rights of up to 49,999 Dth/d. The term extension must be executed within ten (10) days of the capacity award and the segmented service rights must be executed within ten (10) business days after the extension is completed. 

 

In order to have a bid with a greater economic value than the prearranged shipper's bid, bidders must bid a longer primary service term than the Service Term above.
