Contractor's intent or ability to perform, the City may demand that Contractor give a written
assurance of its intent and ability to perform. In the event that the demand is made and no

due to Contractor; (iii) collection against the proposal and/or performance security, if any; (iv)
collection against liquidated damages (if applicable); or (v) a combination of the

securing, drafting, or creating the Agreement for the City becomes an employee or agent of
Contractor.
S.22 TERMINATION FOR NON-APPROPRIATION AND MODIFICATION FOR BUDGETARY
CONSTRAINT. The City is a governmental agency which relies upon the appropriation of funds
by its governing body to satisfy its obligations. If the City reasonably determines, in its sole
discretion, that it does not have funds to meet its obligations under this Agreement, the City will
have the right to terminate the Agreement without penalty on the last day of the fiscal period for
