equitable adjustment in the contract price for partially completed items of work, but

County may give notice to the Contractor to suspend performance as an alternative
to termination. The County may elect to give written notice to the Contractor to
suspend performance when the County determines that there is a reasonable
likelihood that the funding insufficiency may be resolved in a timeframe that would
allow performance to be resumed prior to the end date of this contract. Notice may
include notice by facsimile or email to the Contractor's Representative. The
Contractor shall suspend performance on the date stated in the written notice to
suspend. During the period of suspension of performance, each party may inform
the other of any conditions that may reasonably affect the potential for resumption
of performance. Notice may be contingent upon the occurrence or non-occurrence
of a future event; e.g. the failure of the State of Washington to pass a budget by a
date specified in the notice.
When the County determines that the funding insufficiency is resolved, the
County may give the Contractor written notice to resume performance and a
proposed date to resume performance. Upon receipt of written notice to resume
performance, the Contractor will give written notice to the County as to whether it
can resume performance, and, if so,the date upon which it agrees to resume
performance. If the Contractor gives notice to the County that it cannot resume
performance, the parties agree that the contract will be terminated retroactive to
the original date of suspension of performance. If the date the Contractor gives
notice it can resume performance is not acceptable to the County, the parties agree
to discuss an alternative acceptable date. If an alternative date is not acceptable to
the County, the parties agree that the contract will be terminated retroactive to the
original date of suspension of performance.
If the funding issue is not resolved, the County may terminate the contract
under the "Termination for Convenience" clause.
17. Termination Procedures
After receipt of a notice of termination, except as otherwise directed by the
County, the Contractor shall:
i. Stop work under the contract on the date and to the extent specified
in the notice;
ii. Place no further orders or subcontracts for materials, services, or
facilities related to the contract;
iii. Assign to the County all of the rights, title,and interest of the
contractor under the orders and subcontracts so terminated, in which case

by the Contractor to settle such claims must have the prior written
approval of the County; and
iv. Preserve and transfer any materials, contract deliverables and/or
County property in the Contractor's possession as directed by the County.

Contractor shall not place extraordinary orders or subcontracts in
anticipation of receiving a notice of termination, so as to circumvent section 17 (ii).

reasonably determines is necessary to protect the County against potential loss or
liability resulting from the termination. The County shall pay any withheld amount
to the Contractor if the county later determines that loss or liability will not occur.

any other rights and remedies provided under this contract or otherwise provided
under law.
