City May Terminate: If the Contractor is adjudged bankrupt or insolvent, or if they make a general assignment for the benefit of their creditors, or if a trustee or receiver is appointed for the Contractor or for any of their property, or if they file a petition to take advantage of any debtor's act, or to reorganize under bankruptcy or similar laws, or if they repeatedly fails to supply sufficient skilled workmen or suitable materials or equipment, or if they repeatedly fail to make prompt payments to Sub-Contractors or for labor, materials or equipment or they disregards laws, ordinances, rules, regulations or orders of any public body having jurisdiction, or if they disregard the authority of the City, of if they otherwise violates any provision of, the Contract Documents, then the City may, without prejudice to any other right or remedy and after giving the Contractor and the surety ten (10) days written notice, terminate the services of the Contractor and take possession of the Project and of all materials, equipment, tools, construction equipment and machinery thereon owned by the Contractor, and finish the Work by whatever method they may deem expedient. In such case the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payment until the Work is finished. If the unpaid balance of the Contract Price exceeds the direct and indirect costs of completing the Project, including compensation for additional professional services, such excess shall be paid to the Contractor. If such costs exceed such unpaid balance, the Contractor will pay the difference to the City. Such costs incurred by the City will be determined by the City and incorporated in a Change Order. If after termination of the Contractor under this Section, it is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction for any reason that the Contractor was not in default, the rights and obligations of the City and the Contractor shall be the same as if the termination had been issued pursuant to this document. 4.32.1. Where the Contractor's services have been so terminated by the City said termination shall not affect any rights of the City against the Contractor then existing or which may thereafter accrue. Any retention or payment of moneys by the City due the Contractor will not release the Contractor from liability. 4.32.2. Upon ten (10) days written notice to the Contractor, the City may, without cause and without prejudice to any other right or remedy, elect to terminate the Agreement. In such case, the Contractor shall be paid for all Work executed and accepted by the City as of the date of the termination. No payment shall be made for profit for Work which has not been performed. 4.33. Removal of Equipment: In the case of termination of this Contract before completion for any cause whatever, the Contractor, if notified to do so by the City, shall promptly remove any part or all of his equipment and supplies from the property of the City.
