Agreement No.55080 SECTION 24 - Dispute Resolution The dispute resolution process provided for in Chapter 2260 of the Texas Government Code shall be used, as further described herein, by TEEX and the Subrecipient to attempt to resolve any claim for breach of contract made by the Subrecipient: A. A Subrecipient's claim for breach of this Agreement that the parties cannot resolve in the ordinary course of business shall be submitted to the negotiation process provided in Chapter 2260, subchapter B, of the Government Code. To initiate the process, the Subrecipient shall submit written notice, as required by subchapter B, to Arturo Alonzo, TEEX Deputy Director. Said notice shall specifically state that the provisions of Chapter 2260, subchapter B, are being invoked. A copy of the notice shall also be given to all other representatives of TEEX and the Subrecipient otherwise entitled to notice under the parties' Agreement. Compliance by the Subrecipient with subchapter B is a condition precedent to the filing of a contested case proceeding under Chapter 2260, subchapter C, of the Government Code. B. The contested case process provided in Chapter 2260, subchapter C, of the Government Code is the Subrecipient's sole and exclusive process for seeking a remedy for any and all alleged breaches of the Agreement by TEEX if the parties are unable to resolve their disputes under subparagraph (A) of this paragraph. C. Compliance with the contested case process provided in subchapter C is a condition precedent to seeking consent to sue from the Legislature under Chapter 107 of the Civil Practices and Remedies Code. Neither the execution of this Agreement by TEEX nor any other conduct of any representative of TEEX relating to the Agreement shall be considered a waiver of sovereign immunity to suit. D. The submission, processing and resolution of the Subrecipient's claim is governed by the published rules adopted by the Office of Attorney General of Texas pursuant to Chapter 2260, as currently effective, hereafter enacted or subsequently amended. These rules are found at 1 T.A.C. Chapter 68. E. Neither the occurrence of an event nor the pendency of a claim constitutes grounds for the suspension of performance by the Subrecipient, in whole or in part. F. The designated individual responsible on behalf of TEEX for examining any claim or counterclaim and conducting any negotiations related thereto as required under §2260.052 of H.B. 826 of the 76th Texas Legislature shall be Arturo Alonzo, TEEX Deputy Director.
