TERMINATION OR SUSPENSION OF THE CONTRACT

 

14.1 TERMINATION BY THE CONTRACTOR

 

14.1.1 The Contractor may terminate the Contract if the Work is stopped for a period of 30 days through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor, Sub-subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing portions of the Work under contract with the Contractor, for any of the following reasons:

 

  .1 issuance of an order of a court or other public authority having jurisdiction;

 

  .2 an act of government, such as a declaration of national emergency, making material unavailable;

 

  .3 because the Architect has not issued a Certificate for Payment and has not notified the Contractor of the reason for withholding certification as provided in Subparagraph 9.4.1, or because the Owner has not made payment on a Certificate for Payment within the time stated in the Contract Documents;

 

  .4 if repeated suspensions, delays or interruptions by the Owner as described in Paragraph 14.3 constitute in the aggregate more than 100 percent of the total number of days scheduled for completion, or 120 days in any 365-day period, whichever is less; or

 

  .5 the Owner has failed to furnish to the Contractor promptly, upon the Contractor’s request, reasonable evidence as required by Subparagraph 2.2.1.

 

14.1.2 If one of the above reasons exists, the Contractor may, upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner and Architect, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner payment for Work executed and for proven loss with respect to materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery, including reasonable overhead, profit and damages.

 

14.1.3 If the Work is stopped for a period of 60 days through no act or fault of the Contractor or a Subcontractor or their agents or employees or any other persons performing portions of the Work under contract with the Contractor because the Owner has persistently failed to fulfill the Owner’s obligations under the Contract Documents with respect to matters important to the progress of the Work, the Contractor may, upon seven additional days’ written notice to the Owner and the Architect, terminate the Contract and recover from the Owner as provided in Subparagraph 14.1.2

 

14.2 TERMINATION BY THE OWNER FOR CAUSE

 

14.2.1 The Owner may terminate the Contract if the Contractor:

 

  .1 persistently or repeatedly refuses or fails to supply enough properly skilled workers or proper materials;

 

  .2 fails to make payment to Subcontractors for materials or labor in accordance with the respective agreements between the Contractor and the Subcontractors;

 

  .3 persistently disregards laws, ordinances, or rules, regulations or orders of a public authority having jurisdiction; or

 

  .4 otherwise is guilty of substantial breach of a provision of the Contract Documents.

 

14.2.2 When any of the above reasons exist, the Owner, upon certification by the Architect that sufficient cause exists to justify

such action, may without prejudice to any other rights or remedies of the Owner and after giving the Contractor and the Contractor’s surety, if any, seven days’ written notice, terminate employment of the Contractor and may, subject to any prior rights of the surety:

 

  .1 take possession of the site and of all materials, equipment, tools, and construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor;

 

  .2 accept assignment of subcontracts pursuant to Paragraph 5.4; and

 

  .3 finish the Work by whatever reasonable method the Owner may deem expedient.

 

14.2.3 When the Owner terminates the Contract for one of the reasons stated in Subparagraph 14.2.1, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive further payment until the Work is finished.

 

14.2.4 If the unpaid balance of the Contract Sum exceeds costs of finishing the Work, including compensation for the Architect’s services and expenses made necessary thereby, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs exceed the unpaid balance, the Contractor shall pay the difference to the Owner. The amount to be paid to the Contractor or Owner, as the case may be, shall be certified by the Architect, upon application, and this obligation for payment shall survive termination of the Contract.

 

14.3 SUSPENSION BY THE OWNER FOR CONVENIENCE

 

14.3.1 The Owner may, without cause, order the Contractor in writing to suspend, delay or interrupt the Work in whole or in part for such period of time as the Owner may determine.

 

14.3.2 An adjustment shall be made for increases in the cost of performance of the Contract, including profit on the increased cost of performance, caused by suspension, delay or interruption. No adjustment shall be made to the extent:

 

  .1 that performance is, was or would have been so suspended, delayed or interrupted by another cause for which the Contractor is responsible; or

 

  .2 that an equitable adjustment is made or denied under another provision of this Contract.

 

14.3.3 Adjustments made in the cost of performance may have a mutually agreed fixed or percentage fee.
