respect to the awarding, amending, or the making of any determination, will render

NONWAIVER OF COUNTY RIGHTS
The County's failure to insist upon the strict performance of any provision of this
Agreement or any Contract, its failure to exercise any right based upon a breach
thereof, or its acceptance of any defective performance shall not constitute a waiver of
any rights under this Agreement or any Contract, unless stated to be such in writing
signed by an authorized representative of the County and attached to the original
Agreement or Contract.

the participation in and the delivery of services and/or benefits made available
