Janitorial Services # 271 Page 8 of 35

Contracts will remain in force for full periods specified, and until all articles ordered before the termination have
been delivered and accepted, unless:
a. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE: This Agreement, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein above
or hereinafter set forth, may be terminated by Town at any time without cause or legal excuse by providing the
other party with thirty (30) calendar days written notice of such termination. Upon effective date of termination,
Town shall have no further liability to Contractor except for payment for actual services incurred during the
performance hereunder. Such liability is limited to the time specified in said notice and for services not
previously reimbursed by Town. Such liability is further limited to the extent such costs are actual, necessary,
reasonable, and verifiable costs and have been incurred by Contractor prior to, and in connection with,
discontinuing the work hereunder.
b. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE: The Town may terminate this Agreement and be relieved of making any
payments to Contractor, and all duties to Contractor should the Contractor fail to perform any material duty or
obligation of the Agreement. Notice shall be given as otherwise provided herein. In the event of such
termination the Town may proceed with the work in any manner deemed proper by the Town. All costs to the
Town shall be deducted from any sum otherwise due to the Contractor and the balance, if any, shall be paid to
the Contractor upon demand. Such a remedy is in addition to such other remedies as may be available to the
Town provided by law.
c. FORCE MAJEURE: Neither party will be liable for failure or delay to perform obligations under this Agreement,
which have become practicably impossible because of circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the
applicable party. Such circumstances include without limitation natural disasters or acts of God; acts of
terrorism; labor disputes or stoppages; war; government acts or orders; epidemics, pandemics, or outbreak of
communicable disease; quarantines; national or regional emergencies; or any other cause, whether similar in
kind to the foregoing or otherwise, beyond the party's reasonable control. Written notice of a party's failure or
delay in performance due to force majeure must be given to the other party no later than five (5) business days
following the force majeure event commencing, which notice shall describe the force majeure event and the
actions taken to minimize the impact thereof. All delivery dates under this Agreement affected by force majeure
shall be tolled for the duration of such force majeure. The parties hereby agree, when feasible, not to cancel but
reschedule the pertinent obligations and deliverables for mutually agreed dates as soon as practicable after the
force majeure condition ceases to exist.
d. ASSIGNMENT: Contractor shall not assign, transfer, sublet or otherwise dispose of his contract, or his right,
title, or interest therein, or his powers to execute such contract to any other person, firm or corporation, without
the previous written consent of the Purchasing Agent. In no case shall such consent relieve the contractor from
his obligations under the contract, nor shall consent change the terms of the contract. If the contractor assigns,
transfers, conveys, sublets, or otherwise disposes of his contract or his right, title, or interest therein, without
obtaining prior written consent from the Purchasing Agent, the Purchasing Agent may cancel the contract in
whole or in part.
e. DEFAULT: The contract may be cancelled or annulled by the Purchasing Agent in whole or in part by written
notice of default to the contractor upon non-performance or violation of contract terms. An award may then be
made to next lowest responsible bidder, or, articles specified may then be purchased on the open market similar
to those so terminated. In either event, the defaulting contractor (or his surety) shall be liable to the Town for
costs to the Town in excess of the defaulted contract prices: Provided, that the contractor shall continue the
performance of the contract to the extent not terminated under the provisions of this clause. Failure of the
contractor to deliver materials or services within the time stipulated on his bid, unless extended in writing by the
Purchasing Agent, shall also constitute contract default.
f. DELIVERY FAILURES: Failure of a contractor to deliver within the time specified or to deliver within the time
extended by the Purchasing Agent, and failure to make replacements of rejected articles when so requested,
immediately or as directed by the Purchasing Agent, shall constitute contract default and authorize the
Purchasing Agent to purchase in the open market articles of comparable grade to replace articles rejected or not
delivered. On all such purchases, the contractor shall reimburse the Town, within a reasonable time as specified
by the Purchasing Agent, for any expenses incurred in excess of contract prices or the Town may deduct such
amount from monies owed the defaulting contractor. Such substitute purchases shall be deducted from contract
quantities. Should public necessity demand it, the Town reserves the right to use or consume articles delivered
which are substandard in quality, subject to an adjustment in price to be determined by the Purchasing
standard.
g. NON-LIABILITY: The Contractor shall not be liable in damages for delay in shipment or failure to deliver when
such delay or failure is the result of fire, flood, strike, act of God, act of government, act of an alien enemy or any
other circumstances which, in the Purchasing Agent's opinion, is beyond the control of the Contractor. Under
such circumstances, however, the Purchasing Agent may, in his discretion, cancel the contract.
