Bid Evaluation
Upon completion of this open season, all remaining bids will be considered binding until a successful bid(s) has been awarded. All final bids received during the open season will be evaluated on a Net Present Value per unit of MDQ (NPV) basis using the factors below.
NPV= En [R*(1 / (1+i)*n)]/MDQ
En = Summation of months 1 through n (Sigma)
n = term in months
MDQ = Contract MDQ
R = Incremental monthly revenue of all services/paths in bid
i = Monthly Discount Factor (current FERC quarterly rate) this rate can be found at https://www.ferc.gov/enforcement/acct-matts/interest-rates.asp
These factors will be weighted equally.
Awards shall be made to the bids with the highest NPV. If more than one bid has the same NPV and requests for service exceed available capacity offered in Open Season #212, then the capacity shall be awarded pro rata to shippers with matching NPV bids. In the event of a tie, parties interested in this capacity may specify an acceptable minimum prorated MDQ.
