Insert a new Paragraph 8.5 as follows: <br />8.5 "TIMELY ACCOMPLISHMENT OF WORK AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES" <br />8.5.1 It is the intent of the Owner to award the Contract immediately after <br />receipt of Bids, providing the Bids received are within funds available. <br />8.5.2 The Contractor shall commence work within five calendar days after <br />receipt of "Notice to Proceed" unless otherwise stipulated in said notice and shall <br />be substantially complete within 30 calendar days. The final completion date <br />will be 15 calender days after the substantial completion date. <br />8.5.3 If the Contractor shall fail to complete the Work within the time specified, <br />or any proper extension thereof granted by the Owner, then the Contractor agrees <br />that such failure constitutes a breach. The Contractor agrees that the Owner may <br />elect to forbear its right to terminate for cause under Article 13.2, or to take other <br />corrective actions such as the right to carry out the work authorized by Article <br />2.4, and in consideration of the Owner's forbearance the Contractor agrees to pay <br />the Owner the fixed amount of $200 for each day of delay as liquidated damages. <br />The Contractor agrees that the liquidated damages may be deducted by the <br />Owner from any funds that are otherwise owed to the Contractor and not yet <br />paid. The parties agree that time is of the essence in this Contract, and that the <br />above amount is fixed and agreed upon due to the impracticality and extreme <br />difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages the Owner would sustain <br />in the event of such delay. Actual damages may include but not necessarily <br />limited to rental and/or other expenses of the use of other facilities, loss of grant <br />money or other revenues, loss of the use of capital and additional interest expense <br />and financing cost and claims by other parties in contract with the Owner for <br />their delay expenses. <br />8.5.4 The Contractor shall notify his surety in writing of any extension(s) of time <br />that may be granted. <br />VIII.
