Should TxDOT desire to suspend a work authorization, but not terminate the contract, this may be done by 30 calendar days' verbal notification followed by written confirmation from the ROW Program Office to that effect. The 30 day notice may be waived in writing by both parties. The work may be reinstated and resumed in full force and effect within 60 days of receipt of written notice from the state to resume the work. The 60 day notice may be waived in writing by both parties.

If the ROW Program Office suspends the work, the contract period is not affected, and the contract will terminate on the date specified unless the contract is otherwise amended.

TxDOT assumes no liability for work performed or costs incurred prior to the date authorized by the ROW Program Office to begin work, during periods when work is suspended, or subsequent to the contract completion date.
