Agreement but prior to the normal completion of any Program Agreement:
a. At DCYF's discretion, the Program Agreement may be renegotiated under the revised funding
conditions.
b. Upon no less than fifteen (15) calendar days' advance written notice to County, DCYF may suspend
County's performance of any Program Agreement when DCYF determines that there is reasonable

County's performance to be resumed prior to the normal completion date of the Program
Agreement. For purposes of this sub -section, "written notice" may include email.
(1) During the period of suspension of performance, each party will inform the other of any

cannot be negotiated, DCYF may terminate the Program Agreement by giving written notice to
the County. The parties agree that the Program Agreement will be terminated retroactive to the
effective date of suspension. DCYF shall be liable only for payment in accordance with the
terms of the Program Agreement for services rendered through the retroactive date of
termination.

26. Termination for Default.
a. The DCYF Contracts Administrator, or appropriate designee, may terminate this Agreement or any

(3) Violated any law, regulation, rule, or ordinance applicable to this Agreement or any Program

within the period of time specified in the written notice of noncompliance, the DCYF Contracts
Administrator, or appropriate designee, may then terminate the agreement. The DCYF Contracts

opportunity for correction if DCYF has a reasonable basis to believe that a Client's health or safety is
in jeopardy.
c. The County may terminate this Agreement or any Program Agreement for default, in whole or in part,
by written notice to DCYF, if the County has a reasonable basis to believe that DCYF has:
(1) Failed to meet or maintain any requirement for contracting with the County;

noncompliance within the period of time specified in the written notice of noncompliance, the County
may then terminate the agreement.
