A. FOR CAUSE

City Council · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns contract terms related to contractor default and termination for cause. It outlines conditions under which a contract can be terminated, such as bankruptcy, failure to pay for materials or labor, or substantial violation of contract terms. The document details the process for termination, including a seven-day notice period for the contractor to correct deficiencies. If a contract is terminated for cause, the County may take possession of the site and materials to complete the work. The contractor would be responsible for excess costs incurred by the County to finish the project. This item is currently under review by the City Council. The scope of work involves potential contract administration, legal review, and possibly project completion by a new contractor if termination occurs. Local contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this item as it could lead to future opportunities if a contract is terminated and the project requires completion. Early engagement with the County could provide insight into potential needs.
