SECTION 33. Liquidated Damages for Violations 
33.1 
NOVOS FIBER’s obligation to pay liquidated damages does not in any way detract from NOVOS 
FIBER’s indemnity and insurance obligations under this Agreement, which shall apply according to their 
terms in addition to NOVOS FIBER’s obligation to pay liquidated damages. 
33.2 
NOVOS FIBER understands and agrees that failure to comply with any time and performance 
requirements in this Agreement or the requirements of Chapter 10 of the Glendale City Code will result in 
damage to the City, and that it is and will be impracticable to determine the actual amount of such damage 
in the event of delay or nonperformance: therefore, the parties hereby agree to the liquidated damages 
specified below pursuant to the authority in Glendale City Code. The following amounts per day or part 
thereof may be chargeable to the letter of credit or security fund for the following concerns: 
33.2.1 Each failure to properly restore the public ROW or to correct related violations of 
specifications, code ordinance or standards within fifteen (15) business days of having been notified 
by the city in writing to correct such defects--$500.00 per day. Such amount is in addition to any 
cost the City may incur to restore the ROW or correct the violation. Any such liquidated damage 
payments shall not be chargeable to NOVOS FIBER once the cure is commenced and diligently 
pursued. 
33.2.2 Each failure to make NOVOS FIBER’s books and records available as required by this 
Agreement that is not cured after five (5) business days written notice - $250.00 per day. 
33.2.3 Any unauthorized partial or total transfer of this Agreement - $4,000.00 per transfer. 
33.2.4 Each instance of any action or non-action by NOVOS FIBER contrary to the terms of this 
Agreement that is not cured after ten (10) business days’ notice - $500.00 per day. This provision 
shall not apply if the City has already assessed a charge under Section 33.2.1 through 33.2.3 or 
32.2.5. 
33.2.5 Failure to provide a valid Certificate of Insurance as required by Section 26.3.1 that is not 
cured after five (5) business days’ notice - $50.00 per day. 
33.3 
Assessment. If the City Engineer concludes that NOVOS FIBER may be liable for liquidated 
damages, the City Engineer shall issue to NOVOS FIBER a written Notice of Intention to Assess Liquidated 
Damages. The Notice shall set forth the nature of the violation and the amount of the proposed assessment. 
Such Notice must be issued, if at all, within no more than sixty (60) days after the City first notified NOVOS 
FIBER in writing of the alleged noncompliance. Within ten (10) business days of the receipt of the Notice, 
NOVOS FIBER shall either pay the amount or file a written appeal with the City Manager, who shall 
approve or deny or adjust the proposed assessment amount. If liquidated damages are imposed, NOVOS 
FIBER shall pay the liquidated damage amount within ten (10) business days of the receipt of the City 
Manager’s decision. The City shall be allowed to deduct any liquidated damage amount from the letter of 
credit or security fund if NOVOS FIBER does not make payment within the required time period(s) set 
forth above. 
33.3.1 If, however, the liquidated damages exceed Five Thousand Dollars ($5,000.00), then the 
following shall apply: 
33.3.2 NOVOS FIBER shall have thirty (30) days of receipt of such written notice to pay the 
liquidated damage amount or give City notice contesting the assertion of noncompliance.

30 
 
33.3.3 In the event that NOVOS FIBER contests the City’s assertion of violation or fails to 
respond to the City’s notice of intent to assess liquidated damages, City shall schedule a public 
hearing to determine whether the liquidated damages were properly assessed. City shall provide 
NOVOS FIBER with at least (30) days’ notice of such hearing, which shall specify the time, place 
and purpose of the hearing. At the hearing, NVOVOS FIBER will be given the opportunity to be 
heard and present evidence. If the result of the hearing is that NOVOS FIBER is responsible for 
the liquidated damage amount, then the amount determined at the hearing will be due ten (10) days 
after the hearing decision is announced. 
33.3.4 NOVOS FIBER may appeal the outcome of the hearing to an appropriate court, which shall 
have the power to review City’s decision “de novo”. Such appeal to the appropriate court must be 
taken within sixty (60) days after the issuance of City’s hearing decision. Otherwise, the outcome 
of the hearing shall be final and conclusive.
