Defaults Under Construction Contracts Clause Samples
The "Defaults Under Construction Contracts" clause defines what constitutes a default or breach by a party under a construction agreement. Typically, this clause outlines specific actions or failures—such as not meeting project deadlines, failing to pay subcontractors, or not adhering to project specifications—that would trigger a default. It also often describes the process for notifying the defaulting party and any opportunities to remedy the breach. The core function of this clause is to clearly establish the grounds and procedures for addressing non-performance, thereby protecting both parties and providing a structured approach to resolving issues that could jeopardize the project.
Defaults Under Construction Contracts. In the event of any material default by a contractor under any of the constructions contracts, or in the event of a material breach of warranty with respect to any materials, workmanship or performance, the County shall promptly proceed, either separately or in conjunction with others, to pursue diligently its remedies against such contractor, vendor and/or against each surety of any bond securing the performance of the construction contracts. So long as no Event of Default shall have occurred hereunder, the County shall have the right to determine the remedies to be exercised against any such contract or surety. The net proceeds of any amounts recovered by way of damages, refunds, adjustments or otherwise in connection with the foregoing, remaining after deduction of expenses incurred in such recovery (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and costs), and after reimbursement to the County of any amounts theretofore paid by the County and not previously reimbursed to the County for correcting or remedying the default or breach of warranty which gave rise to the proceedings against the contractor or surety, shall be paid to BB&T for deposit into the Project Fund.
