This practice is commonly referred to as "kickbacks" or "bid rigging." In this scenario, a city official would intentionally overpay for a contract, with the understanding that a portion of that excess payment would be returned to them as a bribe or kickback. Such corruption undermines public trust and often leads to legal consequences for those involved.

Ways to a breach of a contract?

A contract is a written or oral agreement between two or more parties that contains a specified performance or exchange of goods for a specified benefit; i.e. exchange of performance and/or good(s) or, an exchange of monies. A contract is not legal and binding w/o an acceptance andthis is most often done by wriiten consent by way of signature, both cotractor and contrctee. Any failure to perform any portion of the specified performance of said contract by either party constitues a breech of contract. additionally, most general cotracts contained implied performances. Example; if i contrcted someone to roof my home, sheeting the roof with tarpaper would be an implied performance as failure to do so would affect the performance of the specified performance(roof my home) . So, if its a well known given, it is an implied performance and any failure to carry out either specified or implied performances constitutes breech of contract.
