BID 7373 Mason Corridor Traffic Signs & Posts Page 12 of 18
5. TERMINATION .
a. Termination for Convenience (General Provision) 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 [Breach or Cause] (General Provision) 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 (General Provision) The City in its sole discretion may, in the case
of a termination for breach or default, allow the Contractor [an appropriately short period of time] 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. Termination for Default (Supplies and Service) If the Contractor fails to deliver
supplies or to perform the services within the time specified in this contract or any extension or if the
Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the City may terminate this
contract for default. The City shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination
specifying the nature of the default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies
delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner or performance set
forth in this contract.
If, after termination for failure to fulfill contract obligations, it is determined that the Contractor
was not in default, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination
had been issued for the convenience of the City.

Incorporation of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Terms - The preceding provisions include, in
part, certain Standard Terms and Conditions required by DOT, whether or not expressly set forth in
the preceding contract provisions. All contractual provisions required by DOT, as set forth in FTA
Circular 4220.1 E, are hereby incorporated by reference. Anything to the contrary herein
notwithstanding, all FTA mandated terms shall be deemed to control in the event of a conflict with
other provisions contained in this Agreement. The Contractor shall not perform any act, fail to
perform any act, or refuse to comply with any (name of grantee) requests which would cause (name

9. GOVERNMENT -WIDE DEBARMENT AND SUSPENSION (NONPROCUREMENT)
Background and Applicability
In conjunction with the Office of Management and Budget and other affected Federal agencies,
DOT published an update to 49 CFR Part 29 on November 26, 2003. This government -wide
regulation implements Executive Order 12549, Debarment and Suspension, Executive
Order 12689, Debarment and Suspension, and 31 U.S.C. 6101 note (Section 2455,
BID 7373 Mason Corridor Traffic Signs & Posts Page 15 of 18
Public Law 103-355, 108 Stat. 3327).
The provisions of Part 29 apply to all grantee contracts and subcontracts at any level expected to
equal or exceed $25,000 as well as any contract or subcontract (at any level) for Federally required
auditing services. 49 CFR 29.220(b). This represents a change from prior practice in that the dollar
threshold for application of these rules has been lowered from $100,000 to $25,000. These are
contracts and subcontracts referred to in the regulation as "covered transactions."
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors (at any level) that enter into covered transactions are
required to verify that the entity (as well as its principals and affiliates) they propose to contract or
subcontract with is not excluded or disqualified. They do this by (a) Checking the Excluded Parties
List System, (b) Collecting a certification from that person, or (c) Adding a clause or condition to the
contract or subcontract. This represents a change from prior practice in that certification is still
acceptable but is no longer required. 49 CFR 29.300.
Grantees, contractors, and subcontractors who enter into covered transactions also must require the
entities they contract with to comply with 49 CFR 29, subpart C and include this requirement in their
own subsequent covered transactions (i.e., the requirement flows down to subcontracts at all levels).
Clause Language
The following clause language is suggested, not mandatory. It incorporates the optional method of
verifying that contractors are not excluded or disqualified by certification.
Suspension and Debarment
This contract is a covered transaction for purposes of 49 CFR Part 29. As such, the
contractor is required to verify that none of the contractor, its principals, as defined at 49
CFR 29.995, or affiliates, as defined at 49 CFR 29.905, are excluded or disqualified as
defined at 49 CFR 29.940 and 29.945.
The contractor is required to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C and must include the
requirement to comply with 49 CFR 29, Subpart C in any lower tier covered transaction it
enters into.
By signing and submitting its bid or proposal, the bidder or proposer certifies as follows:
The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact relied upon by (insert agency
name). If it is later determined that the bidder or proposer knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, in addition to remedies available to (insert agency name), the Federal Government may
pursue available remedies, including but not limited to suspension and/or debarment. The bidder or
proposer agrees to comply with the requirements of 49 CFR 29, Subpart C while this offer is valid
and throughout the period of any contract that may arise from this offer. The bidder or proposer
further agrees to include a provision requiring such compliance in its lower tier covered transactions.
10. 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 City's [title of
employee]. This decision shall be final and conclusive unless within [ten (10)] days from the date of
receipt of its copy, the Contractor mails or otherwise furnishes a written appeal to the [title of
employee]. In connection with any such appeal, the Contractor shall be afforded an opportunity to
BID 7373 Mason Corridor Traffic Signs & Posts Page 16 of 18
r

party within a reasonable time after the first observance of such injury of damage.
Remedies - Unless this contract provides otherwise, all claims, counterclaims, disputes and other
matters in question between the City and the Contractor arising out of or relating to this agreement
or its breach will be decided by arbitration if the parties mutually agree, or in a court of competent
jurisdiction within the State in which the City is located.
Rights and Remedies - The duties and obligations imposed by the Contract Documents and the
rights and remedies available thereunder shall be in addition to and not a limitation of any -duties,
obligations, rights and remedies otherwise imposed or available by law. No action or failure to act
by the City, (Architect) or Contractor shall constitute a waiver of any right or duty afforded any of
them under the Contract, nor shall any such action or failure to act constitute an approval of or
acquiescence in any breach thereunder, except as may be specifically agreed in writing.
11. CARGO PREFERENCE REQUIREMENTS
Cargo Preference - Use of United States -Flag Vessels - The contractor agrees: a. to use privately
owned United States -Flag commercial vessels to ship at least 50 percent of the gross tonnage

Sections 12101 et seq. and DOT regulations, "Transportation Services for Individuals with
Disabilities (ADA)," 49 CFR Part 37; and Joint ATBCB/DOT regulations, "Americans with
Disabilities (ADA) Accessibility Specifications for Transportation Vehicles," 36 CFR Part 1192
and 49 CFR Part 38. Notably, DOT incorporated by reference the ATBCB's "Americans with
Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines" (ADAAG), revised July 2004, which include accessibility
guidelines for buildings and facilities, and are incorporated into Appendix A to 49 CFR Part 37.
DOT also added specific provisions to Appendix A modifying the ADAAG, with the result that
BID 7373 Mason Corridor Traffic Signs & Posts Page 17 of 18
buildings and facilities must comply with both the ADAAG and amendments thereto in Appendix
A to 49 CFR Part 37.
