Termination (1) The council may terminate the contract of any grantee prior to the expiration of the contract term upon finding that the grantee has defaulted or has not substantially performed under the contract. The council shall notify the grantee in writing of its intent to terminate no later than 30 days before the intended termination date. The written notice shall state the reasons for the termination and the procedure for requesting reconsideration. (2) The grantee shall have the opportunity to request that the council's contract management committee reconsider the proposed termination. The grantee must file a written request for reconsideration with the Executive Director, Texas Cancer Council, P.O. Box 12097, Austin, Texas 78711-2097, prior to the termination date; otherwise, the grantee will be deemed to have waived the review, and the contract will be terminated. (3) During the time between the notice of the proposed termination and the final decision of the council contract management committee, the council may withhold further funding. In the event the contract management committee's decision is favorable to the grantee, the funds shall be promptly distributed to the grantee. (4) The council hereby delegates to the contract management committee full authority to terminate grant contracts awarded under this chapter for reasons the committee deems appropriate. Any such decision of the council contract management committee shall be final and shall not be subject to reconsideration, appeal, or administrative or judicial review. (5) The contract shall be subject to automatic termination by the council if the council's funds are reduced or upon mutual agreement of the grantee and the council. |
