Common use of Safety of the person Clause in Contracts

Safety of the person. If the Agency or other County of Financial Responsibility has sufficient reason to believe that the safety or well-being of a person receiving services may be endangered by actions of the Contractor, its agent and/or employees, the Agency or other Counties of Financial Responsibility may require that the Contractor immediately terminate providing services to the person. The Agency or other Counties of Financial Responsibility may also remove the person from the care of the Contractor. These actions may be taken forthwith and may continue for such a period as reasonably necessary for the Agency or other Counties of Financial Responsibility to determine that the safety and well-being of the person has been assured. If it is determined that the safety and well-being of the person will remain in jeopardy, the County of Financial Responsibility may terminate the MMIS Service Agreement for a specific individual. No payments shall be made for the period during which services are suspended or terminated. In the event of such suspension or termination, the Contractor shall be entitled to payment, determined on a pro rata basis, for the work or service satisfactorily performed.
