5.0 
LIQUIDATED AND SPECIAL DAMAGES 
 
5.1 
It is hereby agreed that the amounts per day set forth herein in paragraph 5.1.1 are reasonable 
estimates of such liquidated damages and that said amounts do in fact bear a reasonable 
relationship to the damage that would be sustained by CITY, and CM@R agrees to pay such 
liquidated damages as herein provided. 
 
5.1.1 CITY and CM@R recognize that time is of the essence for this Contract and that CITY 
will suffer financial loss, in addition to and apart from the costs described in Paragraph 
5.2, if the Work and/or portions of the Work are not performed and completed within 
the times specified in Section 4, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance 
within the Contract Documents.  CITY and CM@R also recognize the delays, expense, 
and difficulties involved in proving, through legal or arbitration proceedings, the actual 
loss suffered by CITY if the Work or portion of the Work is not completed on time.  
Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, CITY and CM@R agree that as 
liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty) CM@R shall pay CITY three 
thousand five hundred dollars and no cents ($3,500.00) for each working day that 
expires after the time specified in Section 4 for substantial completion, until the Work is 
substantially complete.  After Substantial Completion, if CM@R shall neglect, refuse or 
fail to complete the remaining Work within the Contract Time or any proper extension 
thereof granted by CITY, CM@R shall pay CITY one thousand five hundred dollars 
and no cents ($1,500.00) for each working day that expires after the time specified in 
Section 5 for final completion and readiness for final payment. 
 
5.2 
Special Damages:  In addition to the amounts provided for liquidated damages, CM@R shall 
pay CITY the actual costs reasonably incurred by CITY for CITY’S PM/CM, the Project 
Engineer and for engineering and inspection forces employed on the Work for each working 
day that expires after the time specified in Section 3 for Final Completion, including any 
extensions thereof made in accordance with the Contract Documents, until the Work is finally 
complete.  The rate for inspection services for this contract is $130.00 per hour.  The rate for 
the work by the Project Engineer / CITY’s PM/CM for this Contract is $175.00 per hour.  Each 
of these hourly rates is calculated at time and one half for work required to be performed during 
other than normal business hours. 
 
5.3 
CITY may withhold and deduct from any payment due to CM@R the amount of liquidated 
damages, special damages, and other costs, such as CM@R’s failed testing costs or damages to 
other CITY property, from any moneys due CM@R under the Contract. 
 
6.0 
CONTRACT PRICE 
 
CITY shall pay CM@R for completion of the Work in accordance with the Contract 
Documents, an amount in current funds not to exceed the Total Project Cost of $36,900,000 as
