Force Majeure Procedures. In the event that the City is wholly or partially prevented from performing obligations under this agreement because of a force majeure event, the City will be excused from whatever performance is affected by such force majeure event to the extent so affected, and such failure to perform will not be considered a material breach, provided that nothing in this section will be deemed to authorize the City to violate the ESA or render the goals of the HCP unobtainable, and provided further that: (a) The suspension of performance is of no greater scope and no longer duration than is reasonably required by the force majeure; (b) The City notifies the Services orally within a reasonable time (normally not to exceed 72 hours) after becoming aware of any event that the City contends constitutes a force majeure, and in writing within seven (7) calendar days after the event. Such notice will: identify the event causing the delay or anticipated delay; estimate the anticipated length of delay; state the measures taken or to be taken to minimize the delay; and estimate the timetable for implementation of the measures. This notice shall not be required where the Services have actual notice of delays through participation in Oversight Committee proceedings;
