In case the Contractor should abandon and fail or refuse to resume work within ten (10) days after written
notification from the Owner or the Owner's Representative, or if the Contractor fails to comply with the orders of
the Owner's Representative, when such orders are consistent with this contract, this Agreement, or the
Specifications hereto attached, then the Surety on the bond shall be notified in writing and directed to complete
the work and a copy of said notice shall be delivered to the Contractor.
After receiving said notice of abandonment, the Contractor shall not remove from the work any machinery,
equipment, tools, materials or supplies then on the job, but the same, together with any materials and equipment
under the contract for work, may be held for use on the work by the Owner or the Surety of the Contractor, or
another contractor, in completion of the work; and the Contractor shall not receive any rental or credit therefore
(except when used in connection with Extra Work, where credit shall be allowed as provided for under paragraph
24 of this contract); it being understood that the use of such equipment and materials will ultimately reduce the
cost to complete the work and be reflected in the final settlement.
In case the Surety should fail to commence compliance with the notice for completion hereinbefore provided for
within ten (10) days after service of such notice, then the Owner may provide for completion of the work in either
of the following elective manners:
(a) The Owner may employ such force of men and use of machinery, equipment, tools, materials and
supplies as said Owner may deem necessary to complete the work and charge the expense of such
labor, machinery, equipment, tools, materials and supplies to said Contractor, and the expense so
charged shall be deducted and paid by the Owner out of such moneys as may be due, or that may
thereafter at any time become due to the Contractor under and by virtue of this Agreement. In case such
�- expense is less than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been
completed by the Contractor, then said Contractor shall receive the difference. In case such expense is
greater than the sum which would have been payable under this contract, if the same had been
completed by said Contractor, then the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the amount of such excess
T to the Owner, or
(b) The Owner, under sealed bids, after notice published as required by law, at least twice in a newspaper
having a general circulation in the County of location of the work, may let the contract for the completion
of the work under substantially the same terms and conditions which are provided in this contract. In
case of any increase in cost to the Owner under the new contract as compared to what would have been
r the cost under this contract, such Increase shall be charged to the Contractor and the Surety shall be and
remain bound therefore. However, should the cost to complete any such new contract prove to be less
than that which would have been the cost to complete the work under this contract, the Contractor or his
Surety shall be credited therewith.
When the work shall have been substantially completed, the Contractor and his Surety shall be so notified and
certificates of completion and acceptance, as provided in paragraph 42 hereinabove set forth, shall be issued. A
complete itemized statement of the contract accounts, certified to by Owner's Representative as being correct
r shall then be prepared and delivered to Contractor and his Surety, whereon the Contractor or his Surety, or the
A
r'
Owner as the case may be, shall pay the balance due as reflected by said statement within 30 days after the date
of certificate of completion.
In the event the statement of accounts shows that the cost to complete the work is less than that which would
have been the cost to the Owner had the work been completed by the Contractor under the terms of this
contract, or when the Contractor and/or his Surety shall pay the balance shown to be due by them to the Owner,
then all machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies left on the site of the work shall be turned over to the
Contractor and/or his Surety. Should the cost to complete the work exceed the contract price, and the Contractor
and/or his Surety fail to pay the amount due the Owner within the time designated hereinabove, and there
remains any machinery, equipment, tools, materials or supplies on the site of the work, notice thereof, together with an Itemized list of such equipment and materials shall be mailed to the Contractor and his Surety at the
respective addresses designated in this contract; provided, however, that actual written notice given in any
manner will satisfy this condition. After mailing, or other giving of such notice, such property shall be held at the ^
risk of the Contractor and his Surety subject only to the duty of the Owner to exercise ordinary care to protect
such property. After fifteen (15) days from the date of said notice the Owner may sell such machinery,
equipment, tools, materials or supplies and apply the net sum derived from such sale to the credit of the
Contractor and his Surety. Such sale may be made at either public or private sale, with or without notice, as the --
Owner may elect. The Owner shall release any machinery, equipment, tools, materials, or supplies which remain
on the *jobsite and belong to persons other than the Contractor or his Surety, to their proper owners.
50. ABANDONMENT BY OWNER
In case the Owner shall fail to comply with the terms of this contract, and should fail or refuse to comply with said
terms within ten (10) days after written notification by the Contractor, then the Contractor may suspend or wholly
abandon the work, and may remove therefrom all machinery, tools, and equipment, and all materials on the
ground that have not been included in payments to the Contractor and have not been incorporated into the work.
Thereupon, the Owner's Representative shall make an estimate of the total amount earned by the Contractor,
which estimate shall include the value of all work actually completed by said Contractor at the prices stated In the
attached bid, the value of all partially completed work at a fair and equitable price, and the amount of all Extra
Work performed at the prices agreed upon, or provided for by the terms of this contract, and a reasonable sum to
cover the cost of any provisions made by the Contractor to carry the whole work to completion, and which cannot
be utilized. The Owner's Representative shall then make a final statement of the balance due the Contractor by
deducting from the above estimate all previous payments by the Owner and all other sums that may be retained
by the Owner under the terms of this Agreement, and shall certify same to the Owner who shall pay to the
Contractor on or before thirty (30) days after the date of the notification by the Contractor the balance shown by
said final statement as due the Contractor, under the terms of this Agreement.
51. BONDS
