Agreement and OWNER will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the times specified in paragraph 3.1 above, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with

Article 12 of the General Conditions. The parties also recognize the delays, expense, and difficulties involved in proving the actual loss suffered by OWNER if the Work is not substantially complete on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, OWNER and

CONTRACTOR agree to liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty) the

CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER One Thousand, and 00/100 dollars ($ 1,000.00) for each day expiring after the time specified in paragraph 3.1 for Substantial Completion until the Work is substantially complete. After Substantial completion, if CONTRACTOR shall neglect, refuse or fail to complete the remaining Work within the time specified in paragraph 3.1 for completion and readiness for final payment or any proper extension thereof granted by OWNER, CONTRACTOR, shall pay OWNER One Thousand and 00/100 dollars ($ 1,000.00) for each day expiring after the time specified in paragraph 3.1 for completion and readiness for final payment.”
