b. Contracting Officer. An individual delegated the authority to legally bind the NAFI by entering into, modifying, administering, and terminating contracts.

13. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE

(3) Perform any of the other clauses of this contract (however see paragraph b. below).

such failure within 10 days (or more if authorized inwriting by the Contracting Officer) after receipt of notice from the Contracting Officer specifying the failure.

If the NAFI terminates this contract in whole or in part, it may acquire, under the terms and in the manner the Contracting Officer c.

considers appropriate, supplies or services similar to those terminated, and the Contractor will remain liable to the NAFI for any excess costs for those supplies or services. However, the Contractor must continue the work not terminated.

Defaults by subcontractors at any tier for any reason do not constitute causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of d.

(3) Fires

(4) Floods

f. The NAFI shall pay the contract price for completed supplies delivered and accepted. The Contractor and Contracting Officer shall agree on the amount of payment for manufacturing materials delivered and accepted and for the protection and preservation of the property. Failure to agree will be a dispute under the Claims Clause. The NAFI may withhold from these amounts any sum the Contracting Officer determines to be necessary to protect the NAFI against loss because of outstanding liens or claims offormer lien holders.

g. If, after termination, it is determined that the cause by the Contractor was excusable, the rights and obligations of the parties shall be the same as if the termination had been issued for convenience of the NAFI.

h. The rights and remedies of the NAFI in this clause are in addition to any other rights and remedies provided by law or under this contract.

This contract is automatically terminated for the convenience of the NAFI in the event the NAFI is dissolved.i.

14. CHANGES

a. The Contracting Officer may at any time, by written order, and without notice to the sureties, if any, make changes within the general scope of this contract in any one or more of the following:

(1) Drawings, designs, or specifications; method of shipment or packing; If the requirement is for supplies and/or services:

description of services to be performed; time of performance (i.e., hours of the day, days of the week, etc.); place of delivery or place of performance of services.

(2) If the requirement is for concession services (including public private ventures): Specifications (including drawings and designs); method or manner of performance of work; NAFI-furnished facilities, equipment, materials, services, or site; and/or directing acceleration in the performance of work.

(3) Specifications; work or services; place of origin; place of delivery; If the requirement is for transportation services:

tonnage to be shipped; and/or amount of NAFI-furnished property.

b. If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for, performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether or not changed by the order, the Contracting Officer will make an equitable adjustment in the contract price, the delivery schedule, or both, and modify the contract.

c. The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within 30 days from the date of receipt of the written order;

however, if the Contracting Officer decides that the facts justify it, the Contracting Officer may receive and act upon a proposal submitted before final payment of the contract.

d. If the Contractor's proposal includes the cost of property made obsolete or excess by the change, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe the manner of the disposition of the property.

e. If the requirement is for architect-engineer or other professional services, no services for which an additional cost or fee will be charged by the Contractor shall be furnished without the prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer.

f. If the requirement is for concession services (including public private ventures), the Contractor shall notify the Contracting Officer in writing within seven (7) days of the occurrence of any event that the Contractor considers a change to the contract that has not been authorized in writing signed by the Contracting Officer. The Contractor will be deemed to have waived any right to an adjustment if timely notice is not provided to the Contracting Officer as required herein. For purposes of this clause, "event" shall include, but not be limited to, an order or direction by a NAFI or other NAFI official, a contested contract interpretation, interference with or interruption of the contract work, or any other event that increases the cost or time to perform the contract as compared to the cost or time that would be required if the Contractor performed the contract in accordance with its terms.

g. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a "claim" under the "Claims" clause of this Contract; however, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from proceeding with the Contract as changed.
