If written notice is given by mail, receipt shall be presumed, and the fourteen (14) days shall begin to run, seven (7) calendar days after the date of mailing as dated on the notice. If written notice is provided in-person, the fourteen (14) days shall begin the calendar day after the delivery of the notice. The Contractor shall stop work immediately unless the County provides the Contractor written direction otherwise in the notice.

7.2. Termination for Failure to Perform. If the Contractor is failing to perform, the County will issue a notice of failure to perform to the Contractor listing the Task Order(s) for which the County has determined there is a failure to perform and describe the deficiencies in the Contractor’s work. The Notice shall provide the Contractor with thirty (30) calendar days from the date the Notice is received in which to correct such deficiencies described in said notice. If the Contractor fails to correct such deficiencies to the satisfaction of the County within the stated time period, then the County may terminate the Contract immediately by providing written notice to the Contractor for failure to perform. Upon termination by the County, County may take over the work and cause it to be performed to completion by contract or otherwise. In such case, the County reserves all rights and remedies available, including, but not limited to, the right to recover County’s additional cost incurred in securing complete performance. The rights and remedies of County provided in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this Contract. If, after County’s termination of the Contract for failure of the Contractor to fulfill contractual obligations, it is determined that Contractor had not failed the contractual obligations, the termination shall be deemed to be a termination for the convenience of County.

7.3. Upon termination for any reason, the Parties agree that any work satisfactorily completed or services provided by Contractor prior to the date of termination shall become property of County. Upon County request, all documents, drawings, specifications, data, reports, studies, and other materials (collectively, “Work Product”) prepared or developed by Contractor in connection with this Contract shall be and remain the property of the County. Upon completion, termination, or upon written request of the County, Contractor shall promptly deliver to the County, at no additional cost, all Work Product, whether complete or in progress, in both hard copy and electronic format, as requested by the County.

7.4. Payment on Termination. In the event of termination by County, the County’s sole obligation to Contractor shall be payment for those portions of satisfactorily completed performed work previously authorized by approved Task Order. The County shall not be obligated to pay for any services performed after Contractor has received the final notice of termination, unless the County otherwise directs the Contractor in writing to complete specified elements of the work. Such payment shall be determined on the basis of the hours of work performed by Contractor, or the percentage or work complete as estimated by Contractor and agreed upon by County up to the time of termination. In the event of such termination, County may, without penalty or other obligation to Contractor, elect to employ other persons to perform the same or similar services. In the event of deficient professional services, County shall not pay for the Contractor for deficient services; however, if any of the work performed by the Contractor is used by or useful to any other contractor retained by County to finish the work, the County will pay the Contractor for such useful work to the extent that County does not incur additional costs, or pay twice for the same work, over the work/costs set forth in the canceled Task Order issued to the Contractor and what the County pays the new contractor.

Section 8. Liquidated Damages.

8.1. It is mutually agreed that time is of the essence of this Contract and should the Contractor fail to complete the Work, or portions thereof, within the specified time to achieve Substantial Completion, or any authorized extension thereof, there shall be deducted from the compensation otherwise to be paid to the Contractor, and the Owner will retain the following amount as liquidated damages:

Five Hundred Dollars and No Cents ($500.00), per calendar day elapsing beyond the specified time(s) outlined herein, or any authorized extension thereof, which sum shall represent the actual damages which the Owner will have sustained by failure of the Contractor to complete the work, or portions thereof, within the specified time. It is further agreed that said sum is not a penalty but is the stipulated amount of damages sustained by the Owner in the event of such default by the Contractor. Based on the amount of damages not being readily ascertainable, the above sum is agreed upon as a reasonable and proper measure of damages which the County will sustain per day by failure of the Contractor to complete within time as stipulated; it being recognized by the County and the Contractor that the injury to the County which could result from a failure of the Contractor to complete on schedule is uncertain and cannot be computed exactly, and is not grossly disproportionate and is reasonably expected to follow from a breach of this Contract.

8.2. The timelines agreed to in this Contract are stipulated as fair and reasonable. The Contractor waives any and all challenges and legal defenses to the validity of any Liquidated Damages established in the Contract Documents, including that the Liquidated Damages are void as penalties or are not reasonably related to the actual damages sustained by the Owner as a result of the Contractor’s untimely performance. The County may deduct any Liquidated Damages incurred under this paragraph from the amount owed to the Contractor.

The County does not waive its right to liquidated damages under this Contract by allowing the Contractor to continue and to finish the work, or any part thereof, after the expiration of the Contract, including granted time extensions.

Section 9. Indemnification.

9.1. The Contractor shall hold the County harmless against any and all claims for and related in any way to bodily injury, sickness, disease, death, personal injury, damages to property of any kind (including but not limited to loss of use of any property or assets resulting therefrom), fines, penalties, schedule delay claims of any kind, including but not limited to loss of efficiency or productivity, arising out of or resulting from the performance of the products or services for which the County is contracting hereunder, to the extent caused by the negligent, reckless, or intentional wrongful conduct, acts, or omissions of the Contractor, or any of its agents or employees, including subcontractors.

Such payment on behalf of the County shall be in addition to any and all other legal remedies available to the County and shall not be considered to be the County’s exclusive remedy. It is agreed by the Parties hereto that specific consideration has been received by the Contractor under this Contract for this hold harmless/indemnification provision.

Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Contract, this indemnification section applies to both County and third-party claims and shall survive the termination of this Contract.
