The discount rate shall apply to points utilized by the original shipper entering into the transportation agreement with Northwest. 2. A shipper will be allowed to release and/or segment and release the capacity and shipper and replacement shipper may utilize any available points on Northwest's transmission system without impacting the discount for the original shipper. 3. This prearranged offer is for a volumetric reservation contract demand. A monthly base reservation charge per unit of transportation contact demand shall be the awarded rate/dth multiplied by the dth's delivered during the month, divided by the total monthly Transportation contract Demand. In addition to the Volumetric Reservation Charge Bid, shipper will pay the volumetric charge, the applicable surcharges and fuel. PROCEDURE FOR BIDDING FOR AVAILABLE TRANSPORTATION CAPACITY The following guidelines will be adhered to for all posted packages of transportation capacity for electronic bid ("package or packages"): 1. Shipper must submit a separate electronic bid for each package of available transportation capacity. Multiple electronic bid(s) can be submitted for the total available transportation capacity under the specified package OR multiple rates can be submitted each for a partial amount of available transportation capacity under the specified package. If the same Shipper submits multiple bids, the highest present value for such package of available transportation capacity shall be considered the valid bid. All other bids from the same Shipper for the same package of transportation capacity will be discarded. 2. Northwest awards bids based on a net present value calculation. If bid rate is less than minimum tariff rate, the following formula is utilized: Bid Rate x FERC Interest Rate x The Maximum Bid Quantity x 365 days/100/12; or if the maximum rate is bid, the following formula is utilized: Bid Rate x FERC Interest Rate x Maximum Bid Quantity x days bid/100. 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 bid shall be faxed to (801) 584-7076 to Candace Karpakis or Patrick Aman. If a tie still exists, such capacity shall be awarded on a prorata basis. 3. Northwest will not accept bids with a primary contract term (Term) longer than indicated for the capacity unless maximum rate is bid.
