without limitation those listed directly or by reference in the Master Agreement between Purchaser and FTA, as they may be amended or

contract.
5. TERMINATION
A. Termination for Convenience (General Provision) The (Recipient) 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 (Recipient)
to be paid the Contractor. If the Contractor has any property in its possession belonging to the (Recipient), the Contractor will account for
the same, and dispose of it in the manner the (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient), 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient)'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 (Recipient) setting forth the nature of said breach or default,
(Recipient) 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 (Recipient) 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 (Recipient) elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any
covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by (Recipient) shall not limit (Recipient)'s remedies for any succeeding breach of
that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract.
E. Termination for Convenience (Professional or Transit Service Contracts) The (Recipient), by written notice, may terminate this
contract, in whole or in part, when it is in the Government's interest. If this contract is terminated, the Recipient shall be liable only for
payment under the payment provisions of this contract for services rendered before the effective date of termination.
F. Termination for Default (Supplies and Service) If the Contractor fails to deliver supplies or to perform the services within the time
BID 7578 PCs and Monitors for Transfort and STC Page 10 of 14
specified in this contract or any extension or if the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the (Recipient) may
terminate this contract for default. The (Recipient) 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 Recipient.
G. Termination for Default (Transportation Services) If the Contractor fails to pick up the commodities or to perform the services, including
delivery 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 (Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. The (Recipient) shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a
Notice of Termination specifying the nature of default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for services performed in
accordance with the manner of performance set forth in this contract.
If this contract is terminated while the Contractor has possession of Recipient goods, the Contractor shall, upon direction of the
(Recipient), protect and preserve the goods until surrendered to the Recipient or its agent. The Contractor and (Recipient) shall agree on
payment for the preservation and protection of goods. Failure to agree on an amount will be resolved under the Dispute clause.
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 (Recipient).
H. Termination for Default (Construction) If the Contractor refuses or fails to prosecute the work or any separable part, with the diligence
that will insure its completion within the time specified in this contract or any extension or fails to complete the work within this time, or if
the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the (Recipient) may terminate this contract for default. The
(Recipient) shall terminate by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the default. In this event, the
Recipient may take over the work and compete it by contract or otherwise, and may take possession of and use any materials, appliances,
and plant on the work site necessary for completing the work. The Contractor and its sureties shall be liable for any damage to the
Recipient resulting from the Contractor's refusal or failure to complete the work within specified time, whether or not the Contractor's right
to proceed with the work is terminated. This liability includes any increased costs incurred by the Recipient in completing the work.
The Contractor's right to proceed shall not be terminated nor the Contractor charged with damages under this clause if-
1. the delay in completing the work arises from unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor. Examples of such causes include: acts of God, acts of the Recipient, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a
contract with the Recipient, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes; and
2. the contractor, within [10] days from the beginning of any delay, notifies the (Recipient) in writing of the causes of delay. If in the
judgment of the (Recipient), the delay is excusable, the time for completing the work shall be extended. The judgment of the
(Recipient) shall be final and conclusive on the parties, but subject to appeal under the Disputes clauses.
If, after termination of the Contractor's right to proceed, it is determined that the Contractor was not in default, or that the delay was
excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties will be the same as if the termination had been issued for the convenience of the
Recipient.
I. Termination for Convenience or Default (Architect and Engineering) The (Recipient) may terminate this contract in whole or in part,
for the Recipient's convenience or because of the failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations. The (Recipient) shall terminate
BID 7578 PCs and Monitors for Transfort and STC Page 11 of 14
by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature, extent, and effective date of the termination. Upon receipt of
the notice, the Contractor shall (1) immediately discontinue all services affected (unless the notice directs otherwise), and (2) deliver to the
Contracting Officer all data, drawings, specifications, reports, estimates, summaries, and other information and materials accumulated in
performing this contract, whether completed or in process.
If the termination is for the convenience of the Recipient, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable adjustment in the contract price
but shall allow no anticipated profit on unperformed services.
If the termination is for failure of the Contractor to fulfill the contract obligations, the Recipient may complete the work by contact or
otherwise and the Contractor shall be liable for any additional cost incurred by the Recipient.
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 Recipient.
J. Termination for Convenience of Default (Cost-Type Contracts) The (Recipient) may terminate this contract, or any portion of it, by
serving a notice or termination on the Contractor. The notice shall state whether the termination is for convenience of the (Recipient) or for
the default of the Contractor. If the termination is for default, the notice shall state the manner in which the contractor has failed to perform
the requirements of the contract. The Contractor shall account for any property in its possession paid for from funds received from the
(Recipient), or property supplied to the Contractor by the (Recipient). If the termination is for default, the (Recipient) may fix the fee, if the
contract provides for a fee, to be paid the contractor in proportion to the value, if any, of work performed up to the time of termination. The
Contractor shall promptly submit its termination claim to the (Recipient) and the parties shall negotiate the termination settlement to be
paid the Contractor.
If the termination is for the convenience of the (Recipient), the Contractor shall be paid its contract close-out costs, and a fee, if the
contract provided for payment of a fee, in proportion to the work performed up to the time of termination.
If, after serving a notice of termination for default, the (Recipient) determines that the Contractor has an excusable reason for not
performing, such as strike, fire, flood, events which are not the fault of and are beyond the control of the contractor, the (Recipient), after
setting up a new work schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.
