ARTICLE 7 – PAYMENT PROCEDURES
7.01
Submittal and Processing of Payments
A. Seller shall submit Applications for Payment no later than 30 days after the date of
shipment of the material. Applications for Payment will be processed by Engineer upon
receipt and acceptance of all the items including but not limited to as-built vendor
drawings, factory certified test results, manuals, etc. at the Point of Destination.
7.02
Liquidated Damages
City and Contractor recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement and that City
will suffer financial loss in the form of contract administration expenses (such as project
management and consultant expenses), if all or any part of the Work is not completed within
the times specified (Section 5.01.C), plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance
with the Contract Documents. Consistent with Document 00750 (Liquidated Damages),
Contractor and City agree that because of the nature of the Project, it would be impractical or
extremely difficult to fix the amount of actual damages incurred by City because of a delay in
completion of all or any part of the Work. Accordingly, City and Contractor agree that as
liquidated damages for delay Contractor shall pay City:
A.
$5,000 for each Day that expires after the time specified herein for Contractor to
achieve Substantial Completion of the entire Work until achieved.
B.
$7,500 for each Day that expires after the time specified herein for Contractor to
achieve Final Completion of the entire Work, until achieved.
These measures of liquidated damages shall apply cumulatively and except as provided
below, shall be presumed to be the damages suffered by City resulting from delay in
completion of the Work.
3. Liquidated damages for delay shall only cover administrative, overhead, interest on
bonds, and general loss of public use damages suffered by City as a result of delay.
Liquidated damages shall not cover the cost of completion of the Work, damages
resulting from defective Work, lost revenues or costs of substitute facilities, or
damages suffered by others who then seek to recover their damages from City (for
example, delay claims of other contractors, subcontractors, tenants, or other third-parties),
and defense costs thereof.
ARTICLE 8 – SELLER’S REPRESENTATIONS
8.01
In order to induce Buyer to enter into this Agreement, Seller makes the following
representations:
A. Seller has examined and carefully studied the Contract Documents and the other related

LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
1.
Time is of the essence. Execution of Contract Documents by Contractor
shall constitute acknowledgement by Contractor that Contractor
understands, has ascertained and agrees that City will actually sustain
damages in the amount fixed in the Contract Documents for each and every
Day during which completion of Work required is delayed beyond
expiration of time fixed for completion or extensions of time allowed
pursuant to provisions hereof. Contractor and City agree that specified
measures of liquidated damages shall be presumed to be the damages
actually sustained by City as defined below , and that because of the
nature of the Project, it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to
fix the actual damages.
2.
Liquidated damages shall be considered not as a penalty but as agreed
monetary damage sustained by City for increased Project administration
expenses, including extra inspection, construction management and
architectural and engineering expenses related to the Project and
Contract Documents because Contractor failed to perform and complete
Work within time fixed for completion or extensions of time allowed
pursuant to provisions hereof.
Liquidated damages shall not be
deemed to include within their scope additional damages or
administrative costs arising from Defective Work, lost revenues, interest
expenses, cost of completion of the Work, cost of substitute facilities,
claims and fines of regulatory agencies, damages suffered by others or
other forms of liability claimed against City as a result of delay (e.g., delay
or delay related claims of other contractors, subcontractors or tenants),
and defense costs thereof. Contractor shall be fully responsible for the
actual amount of any such damages it causes, in addition to the
liquidated damages otherwise due City.
3.
City may deduct from any money due or to become due to Contractor
subsequent to time for completion of entire Work and extensions of time
allowed pursuant to provisions hereof, a sum representing then-accrued
liquidated damages. Should Contractor fall behind the approved
Progress Schedule, City may deduct liquidated damages based on its
estimated period of late completion. City need not wait until Final
Completion to withhold liquidated damages from Contractor’s progress
payments. Should money due or to become due to Contractor be
insufficient to cover aggregate liquidated damages due, then Contractor
forthwith shall pay the remainder of the assessed liquidated damages to
City.
