consecutive days by notice in writing to
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER which will fix the date
on which Work will be resumed. CONTRACTOR shall
resume the Work on the date so fixed. CONTRACTOR
shall be allowed an adjustment in the Contract Price or an
extension of the Contract Times, or both, directly
attributable to any such suspension if CONTRACTOR
makes a Claim therefor as provided in paragraph 10.05.
15.02 OWNER May Terminate for Cause
A. The occurrence of any one or more of the
following events will justify termination for cause:
1. CONTRACTOR’s persistent failure to per-
form the Work in accordance with the Contract
Documents (including, but not limited to, failure to
supply sufficient skilled workers or suitable materials
or equipment or failure to adhere to the progress
schedule established under paragraph 2.07 as
adjusted from time to time pursuant to paragraph
6.04);

2. CONTRACTOR’s disregard of Laws or
Regulations of any public body having jurisdiction;
3. CONTRACTOR’s disregard of the authori-
ty of ENGINEER; or
4. CONTRACTOR’s violation in any
substantial way of any provisions of the Contract
Documents.
B. If one or more of the events identified in
paragraph 15.02.A occur, OWNER may, after giving
CONTRACTOR (and the surety, if any) seven days
written notice, terminate the services of CONTRACTOR,
exclude CONTRACTOR from the Site, and take
possession of the Work and of all CONTRACTOR’s
tools, appliances, construction equipment, and machinery
at the Site, and use the same to the full extent they could
be used by CONTRACTOR (without liability to
CONTRACTOR for trespass or conversion), incorporate
in the Work all materials and equipment stored at the Site
or for which OWNER has paid CONTRACTOR but
which are stored elsewhere, and finish the Work as
OWNER may deem expedient. In such case,
CONTRACTOR shall not be entitled to receive any
further payment until the Work is finished. Ifthe unpaid
balance of the Contract Price exceeds all claims, costs,
losses, and damages (including but not limited to all fees
and charges of engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other dispute
resolution costs) sustained by OWNER arising out of or
relating to completing the Work, such excess will be paid
to CONTRACTOR. If such claims, costs, losses, and
damages exceed such unpaid balance, CONTRACTOR
shall pay the difference to OWNER. Such claims, costs,
losses, and damages incurred by OWNER will be
reviewed by ENGINEER as to their reasonableness and,
when so approved by ENGINEER, incorporated in a
Change Order. When exercising any rights or remedies
under this paragraph OWNER shall not be required to
obtain the lowest price for the Work performed.
C. Where CONTRACTOR’s services have been so
terminated by OWNER, the termination will not affect
any rights or remedies of OWNER against
CONTRACTOR then existing or which may thereafter
accrue, Any retention or payment of moneys due
CONTRACTOR by OWNER will not release
CONTRACTOR from liability.

Russell Stephenson — Electrical Manhole Rehabilitation
A. Upon seven days written notice to
CONTRACTOR and ENGINEER, OWNER may,
without cause and without prejudice to any other right or
remedy of OWNER, elect to terminate the Contract. In
such case, CONTRACTOR shall be paid (without
duplication of any items):
1. for completed and acceptable Work executed
in accordance with the Contract Documents prior to
the effective date of termination, including fair and
reasonable sums for overhead and profit on such
Work;
2. for expenses sustained prior to the effective
date of termination in performing services and fur-
nishing labor, materials, or equipment as required by
the Contract Documents in connection with uncom-
pleted Work, plus fair and reasonable sums for
overhead and profit on such expenses;
3. for all claims, costs, losses, and damages
(including but not limited to all fees and charges of
engineers, architects, attorneys, and other
professionals and all court or arbitration or other
dispute resolution costs) incurred in settlement of
terminated contracts with Subcontractors, Suppliers,
and others; and
4. for reasonable expenses directly attributable
to termination.
B. CONTRACTOR shall not be paid on account of
loss of anticipated profits or revenue or other economic
loss arising out of or resulting from such termination.
15.04 CONTRACTOR May Stop Work or Terminate
A. If, through no act or fault of CONTRACTOR, the
Work is suspended for more than 90 consecutive days by
OWNER or under an order of court or other public
authority, or ENGINEER fails to act on any Application
for Payment within 30 days after it is submitted, or
OWNER fails for 30 days to pay CONTRACTOR any
sum finally determined to be due, then CONTRACTOR
may, upon seven days written notice to OWNER and
ENGINEER, and provided OWNER or ENGINEER do
not remedy such suspension or failure within that time,
terminate the Contract and recover from OWNER
payment on the same terms as provided in paragraph
15.03. In lieu of terminating the Contract and without
prejudice to any other right or remedy, if ENGINEER has
failed to act on an Application for Payment within 30
days after it is submitted, or OWNER has failed for 30
days to pay CONTRACTOR any sum finally determined

to be due, CONTRACTOR may, seven days after written
notice to OWNER and ENGINEER, stop the Work until

sions of this paragraph 15.04 are not intended to preclude
