Excusable performance failures Sample Clauses

Excusable performance failures. 8.4.1 The Department recognises that circumstances may arise in which it may be reasonable to take into account specific instances or events that have resulted in a performance failure by the Health Services Manager. Instances or events such as these will be excluded for the purpose of determining whether a performance failure has been triggered and whether abatement applies for that measure. 8.4.2 The categories of events that may constitute excusable performance failures for the purpose of this clause 8.4 are: a. events that the Department recognises as being beyond the reasonable control of the Health Services Manager (provided the Health Services Manager has taken all proper and reasonable steps to minimise the occurrence or impact of such events); or b. a Force Majeure Event; The Department will (acting reasonably) have the final say on whether an event qualifies for exclusion under this clause. 8.4.3 The Health Services Manager must notify the Department’s national office of any event that it considers qualifies as an excusable performance failure as soon as practicable (no later than three days) after the Health Services Manager becomes aware of the event. Details about the event and reasons why the event are considered an excusable performance failure must be provided to the Department’s national office for consideration. Additionally, the Health Services Manager must include an estimate of the flow-on effect of the event, including time required to overcome the event, and how the effect impacts the Health Services Manager from achieving the CRs. 8.4.4 The Department will consider any events including the flow-on effects nominated by the Health Services Manager, in conjunction with the Department’s Service Delivery Manager, as excusable performance failures and will notify the Health Services Manager of whether it accepts or rejects that the event is an excusable performance failure within three business days of receiving the details of the claimed excusable performance failure from the Health Services Manager. If the Department rejects an event as an excusable performance failure, the Department will provide the Health Services Manager with reasons in writing for the rejection. If the Department fails to provide a written response to the Health Services Manager within three business days, the excusable performance failure will be automatically accepted.

  • Excuse for Nonperformance or Delayed Performance Except with respect to defaults of subcontractors, Contractor/Vendor shall not be in default by reason of any failure in performance of this contract in accordance with its terms (including any failure by Contractor/Vendor to make progress in the prosecution of the work hereunder which endangers such performance) if Contractor/Vendor has notified the Commission or designee within 15 days after the cause of the delay and the failure arises out of causes such as: acts of God; acts of the public enemy; acts of the State and any other governmental entity in its sovereign or contractual capacity; fires; floods; epidemics; quarantine restrictions; strikes or other labor disputes; freight embargoes; or unusually severe weather. If the failure to perform is caused by the failure of a subcontractor to perform or to make progress, and if such failure arises out of causes similar to those set forth above, Contractor/Vendor shall not be deemed to be in default, unless the services to be furnished by the subcontractor were reasonably obtainable from other sources in sufficient time to permit Contractor to meet the contract requirements. Upon request of Contractor, the Commission or designee shall ascertain the facts and extent of such failure, and, if such officer determines that any failure to perform was occasioned by any one or more of the excusable causes, and that, but for the excusable cause, Contractor’s progress and performance would have met the terms of the contract, the delivery schedule shall be revised accordingly, subject to the rights of the State under the clause entitled (in fixed-price contracts, “Termination for Convenience,” in cost-reimbursement contracts, “Termination”). (As used in this Paragraph of this clause, the term “subcontractor” means subcontractor at any tier).

  • Performance Delay Time is of the essence in the Vendor’s performance of this Agreement. If at any time it appears to Vendor that it may not meet any of the performance schedules or the scheduled completion date of the services to be performed for any reason, including labor disputes, Vendor shall immediately by verbal means (to be confirmed in writing) notify Customer of the reasons for and the estimated duration of such delay. If requested by Customer, Vendor shall make every effort to avoid or minimize the delay to the maximum extent possible including the expenditure of premium time. Any additional cost caused by these requirements of Customer shall be borne by Vendor, unless the delay in performance arises out of causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of Vendor or its subcontractors within the meaning of the Cancellation- Default clause herein. The foregoing requirements are in addition to any of Customer’s other rights and remedies as may be provided by law or this Agreement.

  • Ongoing Performance Measures The Department intends to use performance-reporting tools in order to measure the performance of Contractor(s). These tools will include the Contractor Performance Survey (Exhibit G), to be completed by Customers on a quarterly basis. Such measures will allow the Department to better track Vendor performance through the term of the Contract(s) and ensure that Contractor(s) consistently provide quality services to the State and its Customers. The Department reserves the right to modify the Contractor Performance Survey document and introduce additional performance-reporting tools as they are developed, including online tools (e.g. tools within MFMP or on the Department's website).

The failure by the City to provide any notice of any observed deficiency shall not give rise to any liability to the City and shall not be considered a waiver of any right of the City under this Agreement, including, without limitation, the enforcement of the representations and warranties of Bliss Sports II under this Agreement and any warranties that may be made to the City by any Contracting Parties under the Infrastructure Construction Contract Documents with respect to the completion of the Infrastructure Improvements in accordance with the Infrastructure Improvement Plans and the Project Timeline.
