17 39. SITE SECURITY While on COMMERCE premises, Grantee, its agents, employees, or subcontractors shall conform in all respects with physical, fire or other security policies or regulations. 40. SUBGRANTING/SUBCONTRACTING The Grantee may only subcontract work contemplated under this Grant if it obtains the prior written approval of COMMERCE. If COMMERCE approves subcontracting, the Grantee shall maintain written procedures related to subcontracting, as well as copies of all subcontracts and records related to subcontracts. For cause, COMMERCE in writing may: (a) require the Grantee to amend its subcontracting procedures as they relate to this Grant; (b) prohibit the Grantee from subcontracting with a particular person or entity; or (c) require the Grantee to rescind or amend a subcontract. Every subcontract shall bind the Subgrantee to follow all applicable terms of this Grant. If any Subgrantee fails to comply with any applicable term or condition of this Grant, including the Scope of Work and Budget in Attachment A, the Grantee shall be responsible for completing the work itself, or contracting with another Subgrantee as approved by COMMERCE. The Grantee shall appropriately monitor the activities of the Subgrantee to assure fiscal conditions of this Grant. In no event shall the existence of a subcontract operate to release or reduce the liability of the Grantee to COMMERCE for any breach in the performance of the Grantee’s duties. Every subcontract shall include a term that COMMERCE and the State of Washington are not liable for claims or damages arising from a Subgrantee’s performance of the subcontract. 41. SURVIVAL The terms, conditions, and warranties contained in this Grant that by their sense and context are intended to survive the completion of the performance, cancellation or termination of this Grant shall so survive. 42. TAXES All payments accrued on account of payroll taxes, unemployment contributions, the Grantee’s income or gross receipts, any other taxes, insurance or expenses for the Grantee or its staff shall be the sole responsibility of the Grantee. 43. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE In the event COMMERCE determines the Grantee has failed to comply with the conditions of this Grant in a timely manner, COMMERCE has the right to suspend or terminate this Grant. Before suspending or terminating the Grant, COMMERCE shall notify the Grantee in writing of the need to take corrective action. If corrective action is not taken within 30 calendar days, the Grant may be terminated or suspended. In the event of termination or suspension, the Grantee shall be liable for damages as authorized by law including, but not limited to, any cost difference between the original Grant and the replacement or cover Grant and all administrative costs directly related to the replacement Grant, e.g., cost of the competitive bidding, mailing, advertising and staff time. COMMERCE reserves the right to suspend all or part of the Grant, withhold further payments, or prohibit the Grantee from incurring additional obligations of funds during investigation of the alleged compliance breach and pending corrective action by the GRANTEE or a decision by COMMERCE to terminate the Grant. A termination shall be deemed a “Termination for Convenience” if it is determined that the Grantee: (1) was not in default; or (2) failure to perform was outside of his or her control, fault or negligence. The rights and remedies of COMMERCE provided in this Grant are not exclusive and are, in addition to any other rights and remedies, provided by law. 44. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE Except as otherwise provided in this Grant, COMMERCE may, by ten (10) business days written notice, beginning on the second day after the mailing, terminate this Grant, in whole or in part. If this Grant is so terminated, COMMERCE shall be liable only for payment required under the terms of this Grant for services rendered or goods delivered prior to the effective date of termination.
