Prior to exercising the department's option to extend the contract, the department will determine if an

extension is in the best interest of the department, taking into consideration current market trends, cost

factors, price comparison with similar service in other states and various other factors as determined

by the DOTD procurement director.

The continuation of this contract is contingent upon the appropriation of funds to fulfill the requirements

of the contract by the legislature. If the legislature fails to appropriate sufficient monies to provide for

the continuation of a contract, or if such appropriation is reduced by the veto of the Governor or by any

means provided in the Appropriations Act or Title 39 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 to

prevent the total appropriation for the year from exceeding revenues for that year, or for any other

lawful purpose, and the effect of such reduction is to provide insufficient monies for the continuation of

the contract, the contract shall terminate on the date of the beginning of the first fiscal year for which

funds are not appropriated.

TERMINATION OF CONTRACT:

The Department reserves the right to immediately terminate this contract prior to the end of the

contract period for unsatisfactory performance, unsatisfactory delivery, unsatisfactory service, failure

to meet specifications, misrepresentation by the contractor, fraud, collusion, conspiracy, or other

unlawful means of obtaining any contract with the State, conflict of contract provisions with

constitutional or statutory provisions of State or Federal Law, and/or any breach of contract.

The Department reserves the right to terminate this contract prior to the end of the contract period

upon giving thirty (30) day written notice to the contractor if it is considered in the best interest of the

Department.

Successful contractor may request cancellation of this contract upon giving thirty (30) day written

notice to the DOTD Procurement Director.

All orders delivered prior to the effective date of such termination shall be paid for by the Department

in accordance with the terms of the contract, whereupon all obligations of both parties to the contract

shall cease.

In the event contract contains a provision entitled "Guarantees" such guarantees shall apply to all

items delivered prior to termination.
