5.2 For the purposes of this Article, the day of final acceptance of the work shall be considered a day of delay, and the scheduled day of completion of the work shall be considered a day scheduled for production.

5.3 The County has the right to deduct, as payment on such liquidated damages, against any money the County owes the Contractor.
