completing the Work within a reasonable period of time for any reason including, but not limited to:

(a)Labor or Material shortage
(b)Limitations imposed by law, rule, regulation, or order of the local, State, or

Federal government

(c)Actions of the public enemy, including those related to priorities and third-

party actions

(2)If the Department determines it is in the best interest of the Department, public, State,

or Nation for any reason including, but not limited to:

(a)Lack of funding or a funding reallocation that prevents the completion of the

Work as planned

(b)Discovery of significant hazardous Material problems
(c)Right-of-way acquisition problems
(d)Utility conflicts that would cause substantial delays or expense to the Contract

If the Department terminates all or any portion of the Contract, the termination will relieve the Contractor of its obligation to perform such portions of the Contract. The termination will not relieve the Contractor of its responsibilities for the Work performed prior to termination, or relieve the Contractor’s Surety of its responsibilities for any just claims arising out of Work performed prior to termination. The Department may direct the Contractor to complete certain elements of the Work before termination of the Contract. The Department will compensate the Contractor for eliminated Contract Items in accordance with 1904, “Compensation for Contract Revisions,” and 1905, “Compensation for Eliminated Items.” Measurement and Payment
