2.7 The COUNTY shall give prompt written notice to the CONSULTANT whenever the
<br />COUNTY observes or otherwise becomes aware of any development that affects the timing
<br />or delivery of the CONSULTANT's Services. 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 />evidence of the causes of the delay, the Agreement shall be modified in writing as set forth in
<br />this Agreement, subject to the COUNTY'S rights to change, terminate, or stop any or all of

<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.
