5. Termination for Convenience of the City

City Council Regular Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns a proposed contract termination clause for the City of Port Orange. The clause allows the City Manager to end a contract for services if it is in the city's best interest. If terminated, the Architect must stop work and deliveries, settle subcontracts, and try to reduce damages. The Finance Director will then determine payment for work completed and costs incurred, with potential appeals to the City Council. This item is currently under review by the City Council. While no specific project is detailed, this process could impact ongoing or future service contracts, potentially involving site work, construction, or other services managed by an architect. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in city projects should monitor these proceedings, as contract terms and termination conditions can affect project scope and timelines. Early awareness of such clauses can help businesses prepare for potential changes in project status.
