About this file
The document is a Liquidated Damages Calculator spreadsheet for Pinellas County, Florida, specifically for the SCB Replacement of Generator Controls and Switchgear project (PID 004906DE) at the South Cross Bayou Advanced Waste Reclamation Facility. The project involves the removal and replacement of two switchboard line-ups, including utility circuit breakers, generator circuit breakers, feeder circuit breakers, group mounted devices, and automatic failover systems. The construction duration is set at 450 calendar days, with the project requiring comprehensive equipment, materials, and work to create fully operational and tested systems.
The project's estimated construction cost is $2,032,000.00, with associated design consultant fees of $91,044.50. The liquidated damages rate is calculated at $1,612.43 per day, which encompasses various elements such as design consultant fees, construction administration costs, and project management hourly rates. The calculation methodology follows a structured approach that considers potential daily costs and impacts of project delays, ensuring a reasonable and defensible damages assessment. The document provides detailed guidance on how liquidated damages are determined, emphasizing the importance of documenting the calculation process for future reference and potential dispute resolution.

Definitions
| A. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: |
| Liquidated damages are a specific sum (or a sum readily determinable) of money, stipulated by the contracting parties, as the amount to be recovered for each day of delay in delivery of the product. |
| Typically, the actual damage amount is unknown or difficult to estimate and is liquidated by the mutual agreement to the rate. Liquidated damages must be based on a reference to a definite standard, such as market value, established experience, or direct inference from known circumstances. |
| Liquidated damages can not be speculative or a penalty. |
| B. RATE DETERMINATION: |
| The amount of liquidated damages must be reasonable to ensure that the damages will not be held to be unenforceable. Therefore, the rate of liquidated damages, also, must be reasonable and is figured on a project-by-project basis. |
| On the other hand, you do not want to set the liquidated damages at too low an amount. Once liquidated damages are included in a contract, you will be unable to recover actual damages in excess of the specified amount. |
| C. HOW TO DETERMINE THE AMOUNT OF ANTICIPATED ACTUAL DAMAGES IN ORDER TO ESTABLISH AN APPROPRIATE AMOUNT FOR LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: |
| Examples of Elements of Rate Determination are listed below (All rates to be based on daily cost). The following list of criteria should be considered when determining anticipated damages that may be caused by a delay in the completion of a project. |
| Some of these are hard costs; others are based upon nonquantifiable factors. |
*Design Consultant Fees – calculated as the construction administration portion of the consultant fee divided by the construction duration multiplied by 3% per year based on duration. If not known, use estimate.
| *Construction Administration Fee - Generally calculated by the Construction Division; however, if Construction Division is not inspecting, cost can be based on the total cost for CA divided by the construction duration (multiplied by 3%/year). |
| FDOT grant funded projects will use the FDOT LD Schedule. |
| *Project Manager/Assistant Project Manager Time – Hourly burdened rate of PM or APM. |
| *DPW Project Overhead - based upon daily rate for DPW administrative overhead costs not recovered in PM billing rate. |
| *Agency Administrative Costs – based upon daily rate for agency personnel assigned to work on project or agency personnel required to spend a portion of their time should be included at that percentage of the daily rate. |
| *Temporary Heat/Cooling/Electric, Owner provided – Per S.F. of project area/day. |
| *Temporary Storage of Owner provided FFE – Costs for storage of Furniture, Fixtures, and Equipment, or other storage of products or materials caused by the delayed turn over of the facility. |
| *Rental/Lease of Facilities for Staff, and/or Clients – calculated in coordination with the agency representative based upon specific needs and available alternatives. |
| *Loss of revenue - Loss of potential revenue from a facility not opening as scheduled. |
| *Loss of grant - Loss of grant funding should the project not be completed on time. |
| *Interest (on borrowed funds) during unexcused delays in completion or periods of non-use. |
| *Rental/moving or other expenses for alternate space. |
| *Costs for insurance, utilities, or equipment. |
| D. HOW TO DOCUMENT THE MEANS BY WHICH LIQUIDATED DAMAGES ARE ESTABLISHED: |
| 1. Determine your anticipated actual per diem damages using criteria such as those listed above. |
| 2. Determine the appropriateness of the figure arrived at in Step 1. The anticipated figure may be used, or a percentage of that figure may be determined to be more appropriate for liquidated damages. |
| 3. Create a typewritten document of the criteria, calculations, and judgments used above. |
| 4. Place the documentation with the Contracts Unit project file for future reference. It is essential to keep all of the records used to determine the per diem liquidated damages amount. |
| This documentation is important to resolve possible future claims, for audit purposes, and for reference in developing future liquidated damages clauses. |
