Remedies for Breach It is understood and agreed that all rights and remedies afforded below shall be in addition to all remedies or actions otherwise authorized or permitted by law: a. Cover/Substitute Performance In the event of Contractor's material breach that has not been cured within thirty (30) days following Contractor’s receipt of written notice of the material breach, the Commissioner may, with or without formally Bidding: (i) Purchase from other sources; or (ii) If the Commissioner is unsuccessful after making reasonable attempts, under the circumstances then-existing, to timely obtain acceptable service or acquire replacement Product of equal or comparable quality, the Commissioner may acquire acceptable replacement service or Product of lesser or greater quality. Such purchases may be deducted from the Contract quantity without penalty or liability to the State. The Commissioner agrees that Authorized Users shall accept allocated performance or deliveries during a period where Contractor is making good faith efforts to cure a material breach. b. Withhold Payment In any case where a reasonable question of material, uncured non-performance by Contractor arises, payment may be withheld in whole or in part at the discretion of the Commissioner. Should Contractor and the Commissioner fail to agree upon the question of “materiality” in an instance of non-performance, such failure to agree shall be a dispute under the Disputes clause. c. Bankruptcy In the event that the Contractor files, or there is filed against Contractor, a petition under the U.S. Bankruptcy Code during the term of this Centralized Contract, Authorized Users may, at their discretion, make application to exercise its right to set-off against monies due the Debtor or, under the Doctrine of Recoupment, be credited the amounts owed by the Contractor arising out of the same transactions.
Remedies for Contractor Breach Pertaining to contract-related issues, it is the responsibility of both CMHA and the contractor to communicate with each other in as clear and complete a manner as possible. If at any time during the term of this contract CMHA or the contractor is not satisfied with any issue, it is the responsibility of that party to deliver to the other party communication, in writing, fully detailing the issue and corrective action (please note that CMHA has the right to issue unilateral addendums to this contract, but the contractor does not have the same right). The other party shall, within 10 days, respond in writing to the other party (however, CMHA shall retain the right to, if conditions warrant, require the contractor to respond in a shorter period of time). Further, CMHA shall, at a minimum, employ the following steps in dealing with the contractor as to any performance issues: 20.16.1.1. If the contractor is in material breach of the contract, CMHA may promptly invoke the termination clause detailed within Section No. 3, form HUD-5370-C, General Conditions for Non-Construction Contracts, Section I—(With or without Maintenance Work), which is attached hereto, and terminate the contract for cause. Such termination must be delivered to the contractor in writing and shall fully detail all pertinent issues pertaining to the cause of and justification for the termination. 20.16.1.2. Prior to termination, CMHA may choose to warn 20.16.1.3. After termination, if the contractor does not agree with CMHA’s justification for the termination, the contractor shall have 10 days to dispute, in writing, such action; if he/she does not do so within the 10-day period, he/she shall have no recourse but to accept and agree with CMHA’s position on the issue. The written protest must detail all pertinent information pertaining to the dispute, including justification detailing CMHA’s alleged incorrect action(s). 20.16.1.4. The response to any protest received shall be conducted in accordance with Section No. 4.0 of this document. 20.16.1.5. It is CMHA’s policy to resolve all contractual issues informally and without litigation. Disputes will not be referred to HUD unless all administrative remedies have been exhausted. When appropriate, a mediator may be used to help resolve differences. 20.16.1.6. For contracts of $100,000 or less, the bidder/contractor may request to meet with the Procurement Officer. 20.16.1.7. All claims by a contractor relating to performance of a contract shall be submitted in writing to the Procurement Officer or designee for a written decision. The contractor may request a conference on the claim. The Procurement Officer’s decision shall inform the contractor of its appeal rights to the next higher level of authority in CMHA. Contractor claims shall be governed by the Changes clause in the form HUD-5370-C.
