Section 20
Termination
A. Termination for Convenience. WSDOT and/or the CONTRACTOR may suspend or
terminate this AGREEMENT, in whole or in part, and all or any part of the financial assistance
provided herein, at any time by written notice to the other PARTY. WSDOT and the CONTRACTOR
shall agree upon the AGREEMENT termination provisions including but not limited to the settlement
terms, conditions, and in the case of partial termination the portion to be terminated. Written
notification must set forth the reasons for such termination, the effective date, and in case of a
partial termination the portion to be terminated. However if, in the case of partial termination,
WSDOT determines that the remaining portion of the award will not accomplish the purposes for
which the award was made, WSDOT may terminate the award in its entirety. The PARTIES may
terminate this AGREEMENT for convenience for reasons including, but not limited to, the following:
1. The requisite funding becomes unavailable through failure of appropriation or otherwise;
2. WSDOT determines, in its sole discretion, that the continuation of the Project(s) would not
produce beneficial results commensurate with the further expenditure of funds;
3. The CONTRACTOR is prevented from proceeding with the Project(s) as a direct result of an
Executive Order of the President with respect to the prosecution of war or in the interest of national
defense; or an Executive Order of the President or Governor of the State with respect to the
preservation of energy resources;
4. The CONTRACTOR is prevented from proceeding with the Project(s) by reason of a
temporary preliminary, special, or permanent restraining order or injunction of a court of competent
jurisdiction where the issuance of such order or injunction is primarily caused by the acts or
omissions of persons or agencies other than the CONTRACTOR; or
5. The State Government determines that the purposes of the statute authorizing the Project(s)
would not be adequately served by the continuation of financial assistance for the Project(s);
6. In the case of termination for convenience under subsections A.1-5 above, WSDOT shall
reimburse the CONTRACTOR for all costs payable under this AGREEMENT that the
CONTRACTOR properly incurred prior to termination. The CONTRACTOR shall promptly submit
its claim for reimbursement to WSDOT. If the CONTRACTOR has any property in its possession
belonging to WSDOT, the CONTRACTOR will account for the same, and dispose of it in the manner
WSDOT directs.
B. Termination for Default. WSDOT may suspend or terminate this AGREEMENT for default,
in whole or in part, and all or any part of the financial assistance provided herein, at any time by
written notice to the CONTRACTOR, if the CONTRACTOR materially breaches or fails to perform
any of the requirements of this AGREEMENT, including:
1. Takes any action pertaining to this AGREEMENT without the approval of WSDOT, which
under the procedures of this AGREEMENT would have required the approval of WSDOT;
2. Jeopardizes its ability to perform pursuant to this AGREEMENT, United States of America
laws, Washington state laws, or local governmental laws under which the CONTRACTOR operates;
3. Fails to make reasonable progress on the Project(s) or other violation of this AGREEMENT
that endangers substantial performance of the Project(s); or
4. Fails to perform in the manner called for in this AGREEMENT or fails, to comply with, or is in
violation of, any provision of this AGREEMENT. WSDOT shall serve a notice of termination on the
CONTRACTOR setting forth the manner in which the CONTRACTOR is in default hereunder. If it
is later determined by WSDOT that the CONTRACTOR had an excusable reason for not
performing, such as events which are not the fault of or are beyond the control of the
CONTRACTOR, such as a strike, fire or flood, WSDOT may: (a) allow the CONTRACTOR to
continue work after setting up a new delivery of performance schedule, or (b) treat the termination
as a termination for convenience.
C. WSDOT, in its sole discretion may, in the case of a termination for breach or default, allow
the CONTRACTOR ten (10) business days, or such longer period as determined by WSDOT, in
which to cure the defect. In such case, the notice of termination will state the time period in which
cure is permitted and other appropriate conditions. If the CONTRACTOR fails to remedy to
City of Tukwila
PTD0103
Page 8 of 12
WSDOT's satisfaction the breach or default within the timeframe and under the conditions set forth
in the notice of termination, WSDOT shall have the right to terminate this AGREEMENT without any
further obligation to CONTRACTOR. Any such termination for default shall not in any way operate
to preclude WSDOT from also pursuing all available remedies against CONTRACTOR and its
sureties for said breach or default.
D. In the event that WSDOT elects to waive its remedies for any breach by CONTRACTOR of
any covenant, term or condition of this AGREEMENT, such waiver by WSDOT shall not limit
WSDOT's remedies for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition
of this AGREEMENT.
E. If this AGREEMENT is terminated, whether for convenience or for default, before the
specified end date set forth in the caption header, "Term of Agreement", WSDOT and the
CONTRACTOR shall execute an amendment to this AGREEMENT identifying the termination date
and the reason for termination.
Section 21
Forbearance by WSDOT Not a Waiver
Any forbearance by WSDOT in exercising any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise afforded by
applicable law, shall not be a waiver of or preclude the exercise of any such right or remedy.
Section 22
Lack of Waiver
In no event shall any WSDOT payment of grant funds to the CONTRACTOR constitute or be
construed as a waiver by WSDOT of any CONTRACTOR breach, or default. Such payment shall
in no way impair or prejudice any right or remedy available to WSDOT with respect to any breach
or default.
Section 23
Limitation of Liability
A. The CONTRACTOR shall indemnify and hold harmless WSDOT, its agents, employees, and
officers and process and defend at its own expense any and all claims, demands, suits at law or
equity, actions, penalties, losses, damages, or costs (hereinafter referred to collectively as "claims"),
of whatsoever kind or nature brought against WSDOT arising out of, in connection with or incident
to the execution of this AGREEMENT and/or the CONTRACTOR's performance or failure to
perform any aspect of this AGREEMENT. This indemnity provision applies to all claims against
WSDOT, its agents, employees and officers arising out of, in connection with or incident to the
negligent acts or omissions of the CONTRACTOR, its agents, employees, officers and
subcontractors. Provided, however, that nothing herein shall require the CONTRACTOR to
indemnify and hold harmless or defend the WSDOT, its agents, employees or officers to the extent
that claims are caused by the sole negligent acts or omissions of the WSDOT, its agents, employees
or officers; and provided further that if such claims result from the concurrent negligence of (a) the
CONTRACTOR its employees, agents, officers or contractors and (b) the STATE, its employees
or authorized agents, or involves those actions covered by RCW 4.24.115, the indemnity provisions
provided herein shall be valid and enforceable only to the extent of the negligence of the PARTY,
its employees, officers, authorized agents, and/or contractors. The indemnification and hold
harmless provision shall survive termination of this AGREEMENT. B. The CONTRACTOR shall
be deemed an independent contractor for all purposes, and the employees of the CONTRACTOR
or its subcontractors and the employees thereof, shall not in any manner be deemed to be the
employees of WSDOT.
C. The CONTRACTOR specifically assumes potential liability for actions brought by
CONTRACTOR's employees and/or subcontractors and solely for the purposes of this
indemnification and defense, the CONTRACTOR specifically waives any immunity under the State
Industrial Insurance Law, Title 51 Revised Code of Washington.

D. In the event either the CONTRACTOR or WSDOT incurs attorney's fees, costs or other legal
expenses to enforce the provisions of this section of this AGREEMENT against the other PARTY,
all such fees, costs and expenses shall be recoverable by the prevailing PARTY.
Section 24
Agreement Modifications
Either PARTY may request changes to this AGREEMENT. Any changes to the terms of this
AGREEMENT must be mutually agreed upon and incorporated by written amendment to this
AGREEMENT. Such written amendment to this AGREEMENT shall not be binding or valid unless
signed by the persons authorized to bind from each of the PARTIES. Provided, however, that
changes to the federal award identification number, DUNS, project title, federal ID number, CFDA
number, milestones, PIN the contact person of either PARTY, or dollar amount changes that do not
affect the project total cost, will not require a written amendment, but will be approved and
documented by WSDOT through an administrative revision. WSDOT shall notify the
CONTRACTOR of the revision in writing.
Section 25
WSDOT Advice
The CONTRACTOR bears complete responsibility for the administration and success of the
Project(s) as defined by this AGREEMENT and any amendments thereto. If the CONTRACTOR
solicits advice from WSDOT on problems that may arise, the offering of WSDOT advice shall not
shift the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR for the correct administration and success of the
Project(s), and WSDOT shall not be held liable for offering advice to the CONTRACTOR.
Section 26
Venue and Process
In the event that either PARTY deems it necessary to institute legal action or proceedings to enforce
any right or obligation under this AGREEMENT, the PARTIES hereto agree that any such action
shall be initiated in the Superior Court of the State of Washington situated in Thurston County. The
PARTIES agree that the laws of the State of Washington shall apply.
Section 27
Subrogation
A. Prior to Subrogation. WSDOT may require the CONTRACTOR to take such action as may be
necessary or appropriate to preserve the CONTRACTOR's right to recover damages from any
person or organization alleged to be legally responsible for injury to any equipment, property, or
transportation program in which WSDOT has a financial interest.
B. Subrogation. WSDOT may require the CONTRACTOR to assign to WSDOT all right of
recovery against any person or organization for Toss, to the extent of WSDOT's loss. Upon
assignment, the CONTRACTOR shall execute, deliver, and do whatever else necessary to secure
WSDOT's rights. The CONTRACTOR shall do nothing after any loss to prejudice the rights of
WSDOT.
C. Duties of the CONTRACTOR. If WSDOT has exercised its right of subrogation, the
CONTRACTOR shall cooperate with WSDOT and, upon WSDOT's request, assist in the
prosecution of suits and enforce any right against any person or organization who may be liable to
