10.8 FORCE MAJEURE
(A) A "Force Majeure" event is an event that (i) in fact causes a delay in the performance of
the Consultant or the City's obligations under the Agreement, and (ii) is beyond the
10
DocuSign Envelope ID:9B1 E11 E9-630B-41 DA-A87D-2612F0314FFB
reasonable control of such party unable to perform the obligation, and (iii) is not due to
an intentional act, error, omission, or negligence of such party, and (iv) could not have
reasonably been foreseen and prepared for by such party at any time prior to the
occurrence of the event. Subject to the foregoing criteria, Force Majeure may include
events such as war, civil insurrection, riot, fires, epidemics, pandemics, terrorism,
sabotage, explosions, embargo restrictions, quarantine restrictions, transportation
accidents, strikes, strong hurricanes or tornadoes, earthquakes, or other acts of God
which prevent performance. Force Majeure shall not include technological impossibility,
inclement weather, or failure to secure any of the required permits pursuant to the
Agreement.
(B) If the City or Consultant's performance of its contractual obligations is prevented or
delayed by an event believed by to be Force Majeure, such party shall immediately,
upon learning of the occurrence of the event or of the commencement of any such delay,
but in any case within fifteen (15) business days thereof, provide notice: (i) of the
occurrence of event of Force Majeure, (ii) of the nature of the event and the cause
thereof, (iii) of the anticipated impact on the Agreement, (iv) of the anticipated period of
the delay, and (v) of what course of action such party plans to take in order to mitigate
the detrimental effects of the event. The timely delivery of the notice of the occurrence of
a Force Majeure event is a condition precedent to allowance of any relief pursuant to this
section; however, receipt of such notice shall not constitute acceptance that the event
claimed to be a Force Majeure event is in fact Force Majeure, and the burden of proof of
the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall be on the requesting party.
(C) No party hereto shall be liable for its failure to carry out its obligations under the
Agreement during a period when such party is rendered unable, in whole or in part, by
Force Majeure to carry out such obligations. The suspension of any of the obligations
under this Agreement due to a Force Majeure event shall be of no greater scope and no
longer duration than is required. The party shall use its reasonable best efforts to
continue to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent such obligations are not
affected or are only partially affected by the Force Majeure event, and to correct or cure
the event or condition excusing performance and otherwise to remedy its inability to
perform to the extent its inability to perform is the direct result of the Force Majeure
event with all reasonable dispatch.
(D) Obligations pursuant to the Agreement that arose before the occurrence of a Force
Majeure event, causing the suspension of performance, shall not be excused as a result
of such occurrence unless such occurrence makes such performance not reasonably
possible. The obligation to pay money in a timely manner for obligations and liabilities
which matured prior to the occurrence of a Force Majeure event shall not be subject to
the Force Majeure provisions.
(E) Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary herein, in the event of a Force
Majeure occurrence, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager, suspend
the City's payment obligations under the Agreement, and may take such action without
regard to the notice requirements herein. Additionally. in the event that an event of
Force Majeure delays a party's performance under the Agreement for a time period
greater than thirty (30) days, the City may, at the sole discretion of the City Manager,
terminate the Agreement on a given date, by giving written notice to Consultant of such
termination. If the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this section, Consultant shall be
paid for any Services satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination; following
11
DocuSign Envelope ID:961E1 1 E9-6306-41 DA-A87D-2612F0314FFB
which the City shall be discharged from any and all liabilities, duties, and terms arising
out of, or by virtue of, this Agreement. In no event will any condition of Force Majeure
extend this Agreement beyond its stated term.

("E-Verify Statute"), as may be amended from time to time. Pursuant to the E-Verify
