What actions must the Contractor take upon receiving a termination notice?

Upon receiving a termination notice, the Contractor must commence and perform actions to effect termination and minimize liability to third parties. This is critical because a timely and responsible response helps ensure that the Contractor addresses any potential impacts of the termination. By actively working towards an organized cessation of services, the Contractor can protect themselves from further liabilities, such as uncompleted work or ongoing obligations that could arise from third parties.

This response aligns with best practices in contract management, where the objective is not just to halt services but also to mitigate any adverse effects resulting from the termination. Taking proactive steps is essential to facilitate a smooth transition and maintain a good professional relationship with the contracting entity.

Choosing to ignore the notice or to wait for further instructions can lead to complications and potential liabilities, while continuing to perform services could conflict with the termination directive. Contacting the City for clarification may be necessary in some situations but does not take precedence over the immediate need to manage the termination process actively.
