Said amount of liquidated damages is agreed upon because of the impracticality and difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the true value of damage which the Owner will sustain by failure of the

Contractor to complete the Work in a timely fashion.

A summary of the liquidated damages is as follows:

1. Parking Facility Outages: For unscheduled/unplanned outages of the parking facility’s electric or communications service or failure to restore electric or communications service beyond the permitted outage window, the

Contractor and his Surety will be liable for liquidated damages in the amount

of $1,000 for each hour (or portion thereof) that the downstream equipment remains inoperable.

2. Terminal and Concourse Outages: For unscheduled/unplanned outages of any Main Terminal or Concourse Facility utility service or failure to restore utility service beyond the permitted outage window, the Contractor and his

Surety will be liable for liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000 for each

15 minutes (or portion thereof) that the utility or downstream facilities remain out of service.

3. Roadway Closures: For work involving roadway closures, the Contractor and his Surety will be liable for liquidated damages in the amount of $350 for each 15 minutes (or portion thereof) that the closure is extended for delayed reopening of the roadway beyond the permitted roadway closure window or beyond the permitted number of days allotted for each roadway closure.

4. Project Completion: Contractor will be assessed liquidated damages in the amount of $4,500 per day (or portion thereof) if not substantially complete or parking garage not open for public use after the specified contract duration
