27. Force Majeure and Notice of Delay from Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other

Regular Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-05-19 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns a Force Majeure and Notice of Delay clause within a Grant Agreement. The clause addresses situations where delays or failures to perform are caused by events beyond a party's control, such as natural disasters or acts of war. It outlines the process for a Grantee to notify the Department of potential delays and the Department's role in determining if the delay is excusable and if an extension will be granted. The Grantee's sole remedy for such delays is an extension, not additional payment or damages. This item is currently under review as part of a board meeting agenda. The scope of work involves understanding and potentially applying contractual clauses related to project delays, which could impact future construction or supply timelines. This early stage offers an opportunity for legal counsel and administrative support services to engage with parties involved in grant agreements to ensure compliance and manage potential disputes.
