(1) "Order to stop work. The procurement officer, may, by written order to the contractor, at any time, and without notice to any surety, require the contractor to stop all or any part of the work called for by this contract. This order shall be for a specified period not exceeding sixty days after the order is delivered to the contractor, unless the parties agree to any further period. Any order shall be identified specifically as a stop work order issued pursuant to this section. Upon receipt of an order, the contractor shall forthwith comply with its terms and take all reasonable steps to minimize the occurrence of costs allocable to the work covered by the order during the period of work stoppage. Before the stop work order expires, or within any further period to which the parties shall have agreed, the procurement officer shall either: (A) Cancel the stop work order; or(B) Terminate the work covered by the order as provided in the 'termination for default clause or the 'termination for convenience clause' of this contract."(2) "Cancellation or expiration of the order. If a stop work order issued under this section is canceled at any time during the period specified in the order, or if the period of the order or any extension thereof expires, the contractor shall have the right to resume work. An appropriate adjustment shall be made in the delivery schedule or contract price, or both, and the contract shall be modified in writing accordingly, if: (A) The stop work order results in an increase in the time required for, or in the contractor's cost properly allocable to, the performance of any part of this contract; and(B) The contractor asserts a claim for an adjustment within thirty days after the end of the period of work stoppage; provided that, if the procurement officer decides that the facts justify the action, any claim asserted may be received and acted upon at any time prior to final payment under this contract."(3) "Termination of stopped work. If a stop work order is not canceled and the work covered by the order is terminated for default or convenience, the reasonable costs resulting from the stop work order shall be allowable by adjustment or otherwise."(4) "Adjustment of price. Any adjustment in contract price made pursuant to this clause shall be determined in accordance with the price adjustment clause of this contract."[Eff 12/15/95; am and comp NOV 17 1997] (Auth: HRS §§ 103D-202, 103D-501) (Imp: HRS § 103D-501)
