Operational Sales Notification and Request for Bids
Sierrita Gas Pipeline LLC (“Sierrita”), in accordance with Section 27 of its FERC Gas Tariff, is soliciting bids for the purchase of 101,000 dekatherms (Dth) of excess gas quantities on its system. This sale is necessary to properly implement the cash out of imbalances and manage system linepack.
Based on anticipated operating conditions and the need to manage imbalances, Sierrita has gas quantities totaling 101,000 available for sale on its system for September 17, 2019 through September 30, 2019, and is soliciting interest from non-affiliated third parties to purchase all of this excess gas. Sierrita will consider fixed price bids and recommends those bids be based on an EPNG South Mainline, SoCal Border, or SoCal Ehrenberg pricing.
Evaluations will be made based upon the highest bid (per Dth), in accordance with Section 9.11(d)(ii) of the General Terms and Conditions of Sierrita's Tariff, and the ability of Sierrita to meet the delivery requirements of the bid as determined by Sierrita in its operational discretion. The successful purchaser(s) will be required to transport the acquired gas from the point(s) of custody transfer. Point of custody transfer includes San Joaquin PIN #47699.
Prior to bidding on the purchase of any gas quantities from Sierrita, the bidder(s) must have entered into a North American Energy Standards Board Base Contract for Sale and Purchase of Natural Gas (NAESB Contract) with Sierrita and must satisfy Sierrita's credit requirements. Sierrita is under no obligation to accept any special provisions to the NAESB Contract and any expression of interest which contains special provisions may be deemed by Sierrita to be non-responsive. Sierrita reserves the right to reject any and all bids.
Bids should indicate the total and daily quantities, the price per Dth, and the dates of delivery. Please submit bids via email to kmwestbids@kindermorgan.com and identify the communication as an Operational Sales Bid by 10:00 AM (MCT) on September 16, 2019.
