PROCEDURE FOR BIDDING AND AWARDING
THE POSTED CAPACITY
Northwest will only accept electronic bids (see instructions below) for all the posted
package(s) of available transportation capacity.
Duplicate bids will be discarded. Maximum rate bids will be accepted for Package 58 for a primary
term beginning January 1, 2026, through a maximum Primary Term End Date of October 31, 2027. 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.
