UTA’s Right to Stop Work Sample Clauses
The "UTA’s Right to Stop Work" clause grants the Utah Transit Authority (UTA) the authority to halt work being performed under a contract. In practice, this means UTA can issue a formal notice to the contractor to suspend all or part of the work, typically for reasons such as safety concerns, changes in project scope, or compliance issues. This clause ensures that UTA retains control over the project timeline and quality, allowing it to address unforeseen circumstances or risks without breaching the contract, thereby protecting its interests and maintaining project standards.
UTA’s Right to Stop Work. 9.1.1 UTA may, without cause and for its convenience, order Contractor in writing to stop and suspend the Work. Such suspension shall not exceed one hundred and twenty (120) consecutive Days or aggregate more than two hundred and forty (240) Days during the duration of the Project. In the event a suspension continues longer than the above-referenced periods, Contractor shall have the right to terminate the Agreement. Any such termination shall be considered to be a termination for convenience by UTA.
9.1.2 If a suspension is directed by UTA without cause, Contractor shall be entitled to seek an adjustment of the Contract Price and/or Contract Time(s) if its cost or time to perform the Work has been adversely impacted by any suspension or stoppage of the Work by UTA.
9.1.3 In addition to its rights under Section 9.3, UTA shall have the right to order a suspension for cause if the Work at any time ceases to comply with the workmanship, safety, quality or other requirements of the Contract Documents or any Legal Requirements. Contractor shall not be entitled to seek an adjustment the Contract Price and/or Contract Time(s) with regard to any such suspension.
