Waiver of Remedies for any Breach: In the event that the City of Tucson elects to waive its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this Contract, such waiver by the City of Tucson shall not limit the City of Tucson's remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this Contract.

Termination for Convenience (Professional or Transit Service Contracts): The City of Tucson, by written notice, may terminate this contract, in whole or in part, when it is in the Government's interest.

10. Termination for Convenience or Default (Cost-Type Contracts): The City of Tucson 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 City of Tucson 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 City of Tucson, or property supplied to the Contractor by the City of Tucson.

If the termination is for the convenience of the City of Tucson, 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.
