a. Termination for Convenience The City may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, at any time by written
notice to the Contractor when it is in the Government's best interest. The Contractor shall be paid its costs,
including contract close-out costs, and profit on work performed up to the time of termination. The Contractor
shall promptly submit its termination claim to the City to be paid the Contractor. If the Contractor has any
property in its possession belonging to the City, the Contractor will account for the same, and dispose of it in the
manner the City directs.
b. Termination for Default If the Contractor does not deliver supplies in accordance with the contract delivery
schedule, or, if the contract is for services, the Contractor fails to perform in the manner called for in the contract,
or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of the contract, the City may terminate this contract
for default. Termination shall be effected by serving a notice of termination on the contractor setting forth the
manner in which the Contractor is in default. The contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies
delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of performance set forth in the
contract.
If it is later determined by the City that the Contractor had an excusable reason for not performing, such as a
strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the Contractor, the City, after
setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the
termination as a termination for convenience.
c. Opportunity to Cure The City in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default,
allow the Contractor 10 days in which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the
time period in which cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions
If Contractor fails to remedy to the City's satisfaction the breach or default of any of the terms, covenants, or
conditions of this Contract within ten (10) days after receipt by Contractor of written notice from the City setting
forth the nature of said breach or default, the City shall have the right to terminate the Contract without any
further obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to preclude the City
from also pursuing all available remedies against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.
d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that the City elects to waive its remedies for any breach by
Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by the City shall not limit the City's
remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract.
Breaches and Dispute Resolution
Disputes - Disputes arising in the performance of this Contract which are not resolved by agreement of the
parties shall be decided in writing by the authorized representative of the City's Director of Purchasing. This

Contractor mails or otherwise furnishes a written appeal to the Director of Finance. In connection with any such
appeal, the Contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to be heard and to offer evidence in support of its
position. The decision of the Director of Finance shall be binding upon the Contractor and the Contractor shall
abide be the decision.
Performance During Dispute - Unless otherwise directed by the City, Contractor shall continue performance
under this Contract while matters in dispute are being resolved.
Claims for Damages - Should either party to the Contract suffer injury or damage to person or property because
of any act or omission of the party or of any of his employees, agents or others for whose acts he is legally liable,

procedures and directives, including without limitation those listed directly or by
reference in the Grant Agreement between the City of Fort Collins (the City) and DOE,

default, the City shall have the right to terminate the Contract without any further
obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate to

sureties for said breach or default.
