3.2 
TERMINATION

Termination for Cause 
 
 
The City has the right to terminate this Contract for cause in the event Consultant materially 
breaches any provision of this Contract or portion of the Services and fails to remedy the

If Consultant fails to remedy the breach or if the breach is not remedial, City may terminate 
this Contract for cause immediately upon written notice to Consultant. In the event the City 
terminates this Contract or any part of the Services as herein provided pursuant to this 
Section 3.2.1, the City shall notify the Consultant in writing, and immediately upon receipt 
of such notice, the Consultant shall discontinue all work under this Contract.

If the Consultant materially fails to fulfill in a timely and proper manner its obligations 
under this Contract, of if the Consultant violates any of the covenants, agreements, or 
stipulations of this Contract, the City may withhold from payment due to the Consultant 
such amounts as are necessary to protect the City’s position for the purpose of set-off until 
such time as the exact amount of damages can be determined. 
 
3.2.2. Termination for Convenience 
 
The City has the right to terminate this Contract for convenience or to abandon any portion 
of the work for which Services have not been performed by the Consultant. In the event 
the City terminates this Contract or any part of the Services as herein provided pursuant to 
this Section 3.2.2, the City shall notify the Consultant in writing, and immediately upon 
receipt of such notice, the Consultant shall discontinue all work under this Contract. 
 
Upon such termination for convenience or abandonment, the Consultant shall immediately 
deliver to the City all drawings, research, data, studies, reports, estimates and any and all 
other documents or work product generated by the Consultant under the Contract, together 
with all unused material supplied by the City. Consultant shall be responsible only for such 
portion of the work which has been completed and accepted by the City. Use of incomplete 
data by the City shall be the City’s sole responsibility. 
 
The Consultant shall receive as compensation in full for Services performed to the date of

and accepted by the City. This fee shall be in an amount to be mutually agreed upon by the 
Consultant and the City, based upon the scope of work set forth in Exhibit “A’ and the 
payment schedule set forth in Article 2, hereof. If mutual agreement cannot be reached 
after reasonable negotiation, the Contract Administrator shall determine the percentage of 
satisfactory completion of each task set forth in the scope of work contained in Exhibit “A” 
and the amount of compensation Consultant is entitled to for such work and the Contract 
Administrator’s determination in this regard shall be final. The City shall make such final 
payment within sixty (60) days after the Consultant has delivered the last of the partially 
completed items. 
 
3.3 
FUNDS APPROPRIATION 
 
If the City Council does not appropriate funds to continue this Contract and pay for charges 
hereunder, the City may terminate this Contract at the end of the current fiscal period. The City

payment for Services rendered or costs encumbered only during a fiscal year and for a period of 
sixty (60) days immediately following the close of the fiscal year, under the provisions of Arizona

4. Safe Site will provide survey by a Registered Land Surveyor to document the locations and 
elevations of potholed utilities.  
5. Safe Site will provide a Test Hole Summary Report detailing this information.    
6. Safe Site will indicate the locations of utilities by marking the ground surface using PK nails 
or stake chasers (nylon brushes).   
7. Safe Site anticipates approximately 1-2 workdays to complete this project from the time of 
start and expects work to begin within 15 business days of notice to proceed. 
Terms and Conditions 
1. Client will provide available utility location information as well as project datum information 
to Safe Site to aid in facilitating this project.  
2. A “Test Hole” will be considered one excavation up to 8 feet deep with lateral “belling” of up 
to a width of 4 feet. Excavating in excess of 12 feet in depth will be considered out of scope.  
3. Test Holes will be backfilled per owner/agency specifications.

4. Asphalt pavement surfaces will be restored per MAG Spec 212-B per additional fees as 
detailed in Fee section.  Coring pavement in excess of 12” thickness will result in an additional 
fee as shown in Fee section.  
5. Pricing assumes test hole locations are accessible within 15’ with vacuum truck. Further 
distances, such as rear of lots, will be considered out of scope and billed at hourly rate.   
6. Should caliche, tree roots, concrete, rocks in excess of 6” diameter, or other materials encumber 
vacuum excavation, work will be halted for that test hole and referred back to Client for 
alternative solutions which may include authorization to continue work at Hourly Rate. 
7. Traffic control costs are included. 
8. Expected Permitting/Bonding costs, if any, have been included in this proposal. Any out of 
ordinary costs incurred due to governing agency requirements will be presented to Client for 
approval to add to the project fee.  
9. If excavation spoils are determined to be potentially hazardous waste by an enforcement 
agency having jurisdiction, then the cost of testing and disposal will be passed through to client. 
Work will cease until Client has been notified and agreement on how to proceed has been 
reached. 
10. Safe Site will exercise due diligence in identifying and locating all utilities. However, due to 
factors beyond our control including lack of maps, inaccuracy of maps, lack of aboveground 
indications of utilities, the presence of unknown and non-electromagnetically conductive 
utilities and soil conditions being non-conducive to GPR scans, Safe Site cannot guarantee that 
all utilities will be found.  
11. Payment terms are Net 30 days unless other arrangements are made.
