Kittitas County Agreement for Services (rev. 5/14/25) <br />Page 8 of 19 <br /> <br />relating to this Agreement for six (6) years after termination or expiration of the Agreement, and upon request <br />shall make them available for review by any Federal or State auditor, the County, and/or any persons authorized <br />by the County. <br /> <br /> 7. Modification <br /> <br />7.1. This Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties. Any such amendment <br />shall be in writing and signed by both parties. <br /> <br /> 7.2 The County may unilaterally amend this Agreement at any time by written notice (“Change <br />Notice”) to Contractor, to modify the work to be performed under this Agreement, within the general scope of <br />the Agreement. Such changes may include, but are not limited to, changes in the exact scope of work to be <br />performed (including modification, substitution, addition, or deletion of required tasks) and changes to the <br />schedule of performance. If any such Change Notice causes an increase or decrease to Contractor’s cost of, or the <br />time required for, performance of the work, an equitable adjustment in the compensation to Contractor and/or <br />in the schedule for the performance of the work shall be made by the County to reflect such an increase or <br />decrease. Notwithstanding any dispute or delay in arriving at a mutually acceptable equitable adjustment, <br />Contractor shall proceed in accordance with all Change Notices. Within thirty (30) days after receipt of any Change <br />Notice which, in Contractor’s opinion, lacks an adequate adjustment, Contractor must submit to the County a <br />written statement requesting a modified adjustment; otherwise, Contractor will forfeit its right to any such <br />modified adjustment. The County retains the final right to determine adjustments hereunder. <br /> <br /> 8. Termination <br /> <br /> 8.1 This Agreement may be terminated at any time by mutual written agreement of the parties. <br /> <br /> 8.2 The County, by giving written notice, may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause <br />and without further obligation to Contractor except for payment due for deliverables provided and/or services <br />performed prior to the effective date of termination. An equitable adjustment in the contracted price for partially <br />completed tasks will be made by the County, but such adjustment shall not include compensation for loss of <br />anticipated profit on uncompleted work. <br /> <br /> 8.3 If Contractor defaults by failing to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, or <br />becomes insolvent, is declared bankrupt or commits any act of bankruptcy or insolvency, or makes an assignment <br />for the benefit of creditors, the County may, by written notice to Contractor, terminate the Agreement, and at <br />the County's option, obtain performance of the work elsewhere. If the Agreement is terminated under this <br />paragraph, Contractor shall not be entitled to receive any further payments under this Agreement until all of its <br />obligations hereunder have been fully performed, and any extra cost or damage to the County shall be deducted <br />from any money due or coming due to Contractor. Furthermore, in the event of termination under this paragraph, <br />Contractor shall bear the costs of any extra expenses incurred by the County in completing the work, and all <br />damages sustained, or which may be sustained, by the County. <br /> <br /> 8.4 Termination of this Agreement by any means provided herein shall not excuse any party’s <br />performance of its obligations hereunder through the effective date of termination, except that the County shall <br />not be obligated to pay for services that have not been performed or deliverables that have not been provided. <br /> <br /> 9. Indemnification <br /> <br />9.1 To the fullest extent permitted by law, Contractor agrees to indemnify, defend and hold the <br />County and its departments, elected and appointed officials, employees, agents and volunteers, harmless from
