5. Rights of City to Increase Working Dam If such Work is not completed within the time
specified, the Engineer shall have the right to increase the number of working days in the amount it may
determine will best serve the interest of the City. If it desires to increase said number of working days, it
shall have the further right to charge to Contractor and deduct from the final payment for the Work the
actual cost of engineering, inspection, superintendence, and other overhead expenses which are directly
chargeable to Contractor and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that the cost of the
final service and preparation of the final estimates shall not be included in such charges, provided,

twenty (20) calendar days prior to the time herein fixed for the completion thereof or the time fixed by the
Engineer for such completion as extended, Contractor shall have filed application for extension thereof, in
writing with the Engineer.
6. Option of City to Terminate Agreement in Event of Failure to Complete Work. If at any

this contract shall be forfeited to the City; but such forfeiture will not release the Contractor or the
Contractor's sureties from liability or failure to fulfill the contract. The Contractor and the Contractor's
sureties will be credited with the amount of money so forfeited toward any excess of cost over and above
the contract price, arising from the suspension termination of the operations of the contract and the
completion of the Work by the City as above provided, and the Contractor will be so credited with any
surplus remaining after all just claims for such completion have been paid.
In the determination of the question whether there has been any such noncompliance with the
contract as to warrant the suspension termination or annulment thereof, the decision of the Engineer shall
be binding on all parties to the contract.
7. Termination of Contract for Convenience. The City also reserves the right to terminate
the contract at any time upon a determination by the Engineer in the Engineer's sole discretion that

convenience, the termination of the contract and the total compensation payable to the Contractor shall be
governed by the following:
(A) The City will issue the Contractor a written notice signed by the Engineer,
specifying that the contract is terminated. Upon receipt of said written notice, the Contractor will be
relieved of further responsibility for damage to the Work (excluding materials) as specified in Section
VII -17, "Contractor's Responsibility for the Work," of the General Conditions and, except as otherwise
directed in writing by the Engineer, the Contractor shall:
(1) Stop all work under the contract except that specifically directed to be completed prior to
acceptance.
(2) Perform work the Engineer deems necessary to secure the project for termination.
(3) Remove equipment and plant from the site of the Work.
(4) Take such action as is necessary to protect materials from damage.
(5) Notify all subcontractors and suppliers that the contract is being terminated and that their
contracts or orders are not to be further performed unless otherwise authorized in writing by the
Engineer.
(6) Provide the Engineer with an inventory list of all materials previously produced,
purchased or ordered from suppliers for use in the Work and not yet used in the Work, including
its storage location, and such other information as the Engineer may request.
(7) Dispose of materials not yet used in the Work as directed by the Engineer. It shall be the
Contractor's responsibility to provide the City with good title to all materials purchased by the
City hereunder, including materials for which partial payment has been made as provided in
Section IX -2, "Progress Payments," of the General Conditions and with bills of sale or other
documents of title for such materials.
(8) Subject to the prior written approval of the Engineer, settle all outstanding liabilities and
all claims arising out of subcontracts or orders for materials terminated hereunder. To the extent
directed by the Engineer, the Contractor shall assign to the City all the right, title, and interest of
the Contractor under subcontracts or orders for materials terminated hereunder.
(9) Furnish the Engineer with the documentation required to be furnished by the Contractor
under the provisions of the contract, including, on projects as to which Federal and State funds
are involved, all documentation required under the Federal and State requirements included in the
contract.
(10) Take such other actions as the Engineer may direct.
(B) Acceptance of the contract as hereinafter specified shall not relieve the
Contractor of responsibility for damage to materials. The Contractor shall continue to be responsible for
damage to materials after issuance of the Notice of Termination, except as follows:
(1) The Contractor's responsibility for damage to materials for which partial payment has
been made as provided in Section IX -2, "Progress Payments," of the General Conditions and for
materials furnished by the City for use in the Work and unused shall terminate when the Engineer
certifies that such materials have been stored in the manner and at the locations the Engineer has
directed.
(2) The Contractor's responsibility for damage to materials purchased by the City subsequent
to the issuance of the notice that the contract is to be terminated shall terminate when title and
delivery of such materials has been taken by the City.
(3) When the Engineer determines that the Contractor has completed the Work under the
contract directed to be completed prior to termination and such other work as may have been
ordered to secure the project for termination, the Contractor will recommend that the Engineer
formally accept the contract to the extent performed, and immediately upon and after such
acceptance by the Engineer, the Contractor will not be required to perform any further Work
thereon and shall be relieved of the Contractor's contractual responsibilities for injury to persons
or property which occurs after the formal acceptance of the project by the Engineer.
(C) Termination of the contract shall not relieve the surety of its obligation for any
just claims arising out of the work performed.
(D) The total compensation to be paid to the Contractor shall be determined by the
Engineer on the basis of the following:
(1) The reasonable cost to the Contractor, without profit, for all work performed under the
contract, including mobilization, demobilization and work done to secure the project for
termination. In determining the reasonable cost, deductions will be made for the cost of materials
to be retained by the Contractor, amounts realized by the sale of materials, and for other
appropriate credits against the cost of the work. When, in the opinion of the Engineer, the cost of
a contract item of work is excessively high due to costs incurred to remedy or replace defective or
rejected work, the reasonable cost to be allowed will be the estimated reasonable cost of
performing such work in compliance with the requirements of the plans and specifications and the
excessive actual cost shall be disallowed.
(2) A reasonable allowance for profit on the cost of the work performed as determined under
Subsection (1), provided the Contractor establishes to the satisfaction of the Engineer that it is
reasonably probable that the Contractor would have made a profit had the contract been
completed and provided further, that the profit allowed shall in no event exceed four (4) percent
of said cost.
(3) The reasonable cost to the Contractor of handling material returned to the vendor,
delivered to the City, or otherwise disposed of as directed by the Engineer.
(4) A reasonable allowance for the Contractor's administrative costs in determining the
amount payable due to termination of the contract.
(5) A reasonable credit to the City for defective or incomplete work not corrected
All records of the Contractor and subcontractors necessary to determine compensation in
accordance with the provisions of this Section 5 shall be open to inspection or audit by representatives of
the City at all times after issuance of the Notice of Termination and for a period of three (3) years,
thereafter, and such records shall be retained for that period.
After acceptance of the Work by the Engineer, the Engineer may make payments on the basis of
interim estimates pending issuance of the Final Estimate in accordance with Section IX -7, "Final
Payment," of the General Conditions when, in the Engineer's opinion, the amount thus paid, together with
all amounts previously paid or allowed, will not result in total compensation in excess of that to which the
Contractor will be entitled. All payments, including payment upon the Final Estimate shall be subject to
deduction for prior payments and amounts, if any, to be kept or retained under the provisions of the
contract.
If this contract is terminated by the City for cause, and it is later determined that the proper basis
for a termination for cause did not exist, the termination shall be deemed to have been a termination for
convenience and governed by the terms of this contract dealing with such termination.
If the contract is terminated by the City for cause or convenience, such termination shall neither
act as a waiver by the City of its right to require the Contractor to correct defects in the Work performed
by the Contractor nor void any warranties applicable to the Work performed under the contract.
The provisions of this Section 5 shall be included in all subcontracts.
In the event of conflict between the termination provisions of this Section 8 and any other
provision or the contract, this Section 5 shall prevail.
8. Performance by Sureties. In the event of any termination as herein before provided, City
shall immediately give written notice thereof to Contractor and Contractor's sureties and the sureties shall
have the right to take over and perform the Agreement, provided, however, that if the sureties, within five
(5) working days after giving them said notice of termination, do not give the City written notice of their
intention to take over the performance of the Agreement and do not commence performance thereof
within five (5) working days after notice to the City of such election, City may take over the Work and
prosecute the same to completion by contract or by any other method it may deem advisable, for the
account, and at the expense, of Contractor, and the sureties shall be liable to City for any excess cost or
damages occasioned City thereby; and, in such event, City may, without liability for so doing, take
possession of and utilize in completing the Work such materials, appliances, plant, and other property
belonging to Contractor as may be on the site of the Work and necessary therefore. Should Contractor
contract in an individual capacity, the surety bond shall contain the following provision: "Should
Contractor contract in the Contractor's individual capacity, the death of the Contractor shall not relieve
the surety of its obligations."

hold City, its elective and appointive boards, officers, agents, and employees harmless from any liability
for damage or claims for damage for personal injury, including death, as well as from claims for property

claims for damages of every kind suffered, or alleged to have been suffered, by reason of any of
