S. FORCE MAJEURE
[Contract 2022] 2
Agreement No. 6343
If any party fails to perform its obligations because of strikes, lockouts, labor disputes,
embargoes, acts of God, inability to obtain labor or materials or reasonable substitutes for
labor or materials, governmental restrictions, governmental regulations, governmental
control, judicial orders, enemy or hostile governmental action, civil commotion, fire or other
casualty, or other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party obligated to perform,
then that party's performance will be excused for a period equal to the period of that cause
for failure to perform.
6. RETENTION OF FUNDS
CONSULTANT authorizes CITY to deduct from any amount payable to CONSULTANT (whether
or not arising out of this Agreement) any amounts the payment of which may be in dispute or
that are necessary to compensate CITY for any losses, costs, liabilities, or damages suffered by
CITY, and all amounts for which CITY may be liable to third parties, by reason of
CONSULTANT's acts or omissions in performing or failing to perform CONSULTANT's
obligations under this Agreement. In the event that any claim is made by a third party, the
amount or validity of which is disputed by CONSULTANT, or any indebtedness exists that
appears to be the basis for a claim of lien, CITY may withhold from any payment due, without
liability for interest because of the withholding, an amount sufficient to cover the claim. The
