If the CONSULTANT has been delayed in <br />completing its Services through no fault or negligence of either the CONSULTANT or any <br />sub -consultant, and, as a result will be unable to perform fully and satisfactorily under the <br />provisions of this Agreement, then the CONSULTANT shall promptly notify the Project <br />Manager. In the COUNTY's sole discretion, and upon the submission to the COUNTY of <br />evidence of the causes of the delay, the Work Order shall be modified in writing as set forth <br />in this Agreement, subject to the COUNTY'S rights to change, terminate, or stop any or all of <br />the Services at any time in accordance with this Agreement. <br />2.8 The CONSULTANT shall not be considered in default for a failure to perform if such <br />failure arises out of causes reasonably beyond the CONSULTANT's control and through no <br />fault or negligence of the CONSULTANT. The parties acknowledge that adverse weather <br />conditions, acts of God, or other unforeseen circumstances of a similar nature, may <br />necessitate modifications to this Agreement. If such conditions and circumstances do in fact <br />occur, then the COUNTY and CONSULTANT shall mutually agree, in writing, to the <br />modifications to be made to this Agreement. <br />3.
