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 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.

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

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
8111 Construction Manager On -Call Page 26 of 36
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 [101 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.
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 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.
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.
8111 Construction Manager On -Call Page 27 of 36
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,

(Recipient), after setting up a new work schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue
work, or treat the termination as a termination for convenience.

INCORPORATION OF FEDERAL TRANSIT ADMINISTRATION (FTA) TERMS
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 of grantee) to be in violation of the
FTA terms and conditions.
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, 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
8111 Construction Manager On -Call Page 30 of 36
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. BUY AMERICA
The contractor agrees to comply with 49 U.S.C. 53230) and 49 C.F.R. Part 661, which
provide that Federal funds may not be obligated unless steel, iron, and manufactured
products used in FTA-funded projects are produced in the United States, unless a waiver
has been granted by FTA or the product is subject to a general waiver. General waivers
are listed in 49 C.F.R. 661.7, and include final assembly in the United States for 15
passenger vans and 15 passenger wagons produced by Chrysler Corporation, and
microcomputer equipment and software. Separate requirements for rolling stock are set
out at 49 U.S.C. 53230)(2)(C) and 49 C.F.R. 661.11. Rolling stock must be assembled in
the United States and have a 60 percent domestic content.
A bidder or offeror must submit to the FTA recipient the appropriate Buy America
certification (below) with all bids or offers on FTA-funded contracts, except those subject to
a general waiver. Bids or offers that are not accompanied by a completed Buy America
certification must be rejected as nonresponsive. This requirement does not apply to lower
tier subcontractors.
