PRINCIPLES FOR EVALUATING THE METHODOLOGY Sample Clauses

PRINCIPLES FOR EVALUATING THE METHODOLOGY. The Energy Division of the CPUC has usefully provided a set of principles for evaluating the process used by IOUs for evaluating contracts in competitive renewable solicitations, within the template intended for use by IEs in reporting. The principles include: • The IOU bid evaluation should be based only on information submitted in bid proposal documents. • There should be no consideration of any information that might indicate whether the bidder is an affiliate. • Procurement targets and objectives were clearly defined in the IOU’s solicitation materials. • The IOU’s methodology should identify quantitative and qualitative criteria and describe how they will be used to rank bids. These criteria should be applied consistently to all bids. • The LCBF methodology should evaluate bids in a technology-neutral manner. • The LCBF methodology should allow for consistent evaluation and comparison of bids of different sizes, in-service dates, and contract length. Some additional considerations appear relevant to the specific situation PG&E finds itself in when evaluating renewable power contracts. Unlike some utilities, PG&E does not rely on weighted-average calculations of scores for various evaluation criteria to arrive at a total aggregate score. Instead, the team ranks contracts by net market value using its methodology, after which, “[u]sing the information and scores in each of the other evaluation criteria, PG&E will decide which Offers to include and which ones not to include on the Shortlist.”6 The application of judgment in bringing the non-valuation criteria to bear on decision-making, rather than a mechanical, quantitative means of doing so, implies an opportunity to test the fairness and consistency of the method using additional principles: • The methodology should identify how non-valuation measures will be considered; non-valuation criteria used in evaluating contracts should be clear to counterparties. • The logic of using non-valuation criteria or preferences to reject high-value contracts and select low-value contracts should be applied consistently and without bias. • The valuation methodology should be reasonably consistent with industry practices.

  • OTHER IMPORTANT TERMS 19.1 Even if we delay in enforcing this Agreement, we can still enforce it later. If we do not insist immediately that you do anything you are required to do under these terms, or if we delay in taking steps against you in respect of your breaking of this Agreement, that will not mean that you do not have to do those things and it will not prevent us taking steps against you at a later date. For example, if you do not pay us an amount when it is due and we do not chase you but we continue to provide the Services, we can still require you to make the payment at a later date. 19.2 If a court finds part of this Agreement illegal, the rest will continue in force. Each of the sections of this Agreement operates separately. If any court or relevant authority decides that any of them are unlawful, the remaining sections will remain in full force and effect. 19.3 We may transfer this agreement to someone else. We may transfer our rights and obligations under this Agreement to another organisation including within our group of companies. We will contact you to let you know if we plan to do this.

You may only transfer your rights or your obligations under this Agreement to another person if we expressly agree to this in writing. We may not be able to agree to this as doing so may likely put us in breach of our legal and regulatory obligations (including our obligations to comply with anti-money laundering laws). 19.5 Other people that may have rights under this contract. This Agreement is between you and us. No other person shall have any rights to enforce any of its terms, except as explained in sections 13 (Compensation you may owe us). 19.6 The meaning of certain words and phrases not defined elsewhere:

  • Proposed Policies and Procedures Regarding New Online Content and Functionality By October 31, 2017, the School will submit to OCR for its review and approval proposed policies and procedures (“the Plan for New Content”) to ensure that all new, newly-added, or modified online content and functionality will be accessible to people with disabilities as measured by conformance to the Benchmarks for Measuring Accessibility set forth above, except where doing so would impose a fundamental alteration or undue burden. a) When fundamental alteration or undue burden defenses apply, the Plan for New Content will require the School to provide equally effective alternative access. The Plan for New Content will require the School, in providing equally effective alternate access, to take any actions that do not result in a fundamental alteration or undue financial and administrative burdens, but nevertheless ensure that, to the maximum extent possible, individuals with disabilities receive the same benefits or services as their nondisabled peers. To provide equally effective alternate access, alternates are not required to produce the identical result or level of achievement for persons with and without disabilities, but must afford persons with disabilities equal opportunity to obtain the same result, to gain the same benefit, or to reach the same level of achievement, in the most integrated setting appropriate to the person’s needs. b) The Plan for New Content must include sufficient quality assurance procedures, backed by adequate personnel and financial resources, for full implementation. This provision also applies to the School’s online content and functionality developed by, maintained by, or offered through a third-party vendor or by using open sources. c) Within thirty (30) days of receiving OCR’s approval of the Plan for New Content, the School will officially adopt, and fully implement the amended policies and procedures.

Such transfer will be accomplished with appropriate coordination between the Parties and subject to appropriate industry lead times for movements of NXXs from one switch to another. Neither Party shall charge the other in connection with this coordinated transfer.
