which prevent performance. Force Majeure shall not include technological impossibility,

supply is affected by extreme or unforeseen volatility in the marketplace satisfying, at a
minimum, all of the following criteria: 1)the volatility is due to causes wholly beyond the
successful Bidder's control; 2)the volatility affects the entire marketplace or industry, not
just the particular successful Bidder's source of supply; 3) the effect on pricing or
availability of supply is substantial; and 4)the volatility so affects the successful Bidders

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.
18.6.5 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

Force Majeure provisions.

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

the Agreement is terminated pursuant to this Section, Consultant shall be paid for any
Services satisfactorily performed up to the date of termination;.following 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. Any time extension shall be subject to mutual agreement and shall
not be cause for any claim by the Consultant for extra compensation, unless Additional
Services are required and approved pursuant to Article 5 hereof.
18.7 CORRECTIONS TO CONTRACT DOCUMENTS: If applicable to the performance of
Consultant's Services,the Consultant shall prepare, without added compensation, all necessary
