FACT SCENARIO G (Questions 28-31):

Geddy Construction (GC) has a written contract with Owner to renovate a nursery at a church in Norman, Oklahoma. The prime contract is governed by the 2017 Edition of AIA Document A201, and provides for liquidated damages of $500 per day in the event GC fails to achieve substantial completion within 180 days. If GC fails to achieve final completion within 30 days thereafter, Owner may assess liquidated damages of $200 per day. GC timely achieves substantial completion. On the 35th day thereafter, Owner, who is upset that GC was given a large number of change orders during the project, declares a default, terminates GC's contract and makes a demand upon GC's performance bond surety to complete the project.

Under what circumstances, can a project owner be entitled to terminate a contractor for default (or for cause)?

Group of answer choices

Failure to obey laws or ordinances

Failure to pay legitimate project debts
