obligations by unforeseeable causes beyond its reasonable control and without is fault or

prevented by such cause. To the extent that the performance is actually prevented, the Service
Provider must provide written notice to the City of such condition within fifteen (15) days from
the onset of such condition.
6. Early Termination by City/Notices. Notwithstanding the time periods contained
herein, the City may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause by providing written

the parties. All notices provided under this Agreement shall be effective when mailed, postage

PO Box 580 Fort Collins, CO 80524
Fort Collins, CO 80522

sole right and remedy for such termination.
7. Contract Sum. This is an open-end indefinite quantity Agreement with no fixed
price. The actual amount of work to be performed will be stated on the individual Work Orders.

amount of services which will in fact be requested.

9. Liquidated Damages. OWNER and CONTRCTOR recognize that time is of the
essence of this Agreement and that OWNER will suffer financial loss if the Work is not
completed within the times specified in the work order, plus any extensions thereof allowed in
accordance with Article 12 of the General conditions. They also recognize the delays, expenses
and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by OWNER if
the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly instead of requiring any such proof, OWNER
and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as penalty)
CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER the amount set forth in each Work Order.

Work Order and shall make, within the scope of his or her authority, all necessary and proper

neither assign any responsibilities nor delegate any duties arising under the Agreement without
the prior written consent of the city.
