The CITY and CONTRACTOR recognize and agree that the damage and loss that CITY will suffer if the WORK is not completed in a timely manner in accordance with the contract terms is difficult or impossible to accurately calculate. Therefore, CITY and CONTRACTOR agree that a reasonable amount to fully compensate CITY for damage and loss it would incur as a result of the failure of CONTRACTOR to complete the WORK in the time allowed by this Agreement shall be the sum of $100.00 per day. The amount in this provision is an amount CITY and CONTRACTOR agree upon as a reasonable amount of damages to fully compensate the CITY for any damage or loss it would suffer from a delay in the timely completion of the WORK, and is intended to provide CITY with reasonable liquidated damages and is not intended as a penalty.

The City shall pay and the Contractor shall receive the unit prices stipulated in the proposal hereto attached as full compensation for everything furnished and done by the Contractor under this contract, which shall in no event exceed _____________________________ ($ ) based on the proposal which sum shall be paid in the manner and terms specified in the Contract Documents, but before issuance of certificate of payment, if the Contractor shall not have

When the Contractor has performed in accordance with the provisions of this Contract, the City of Lawrenceville shall pay to the Contractor, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any payment request based upon work completed or service provided pursuant to the Contract, the sum so requested, less the retainage stated in this Contract, if any. In the event that the City of Lawrenceville fails to pay the Contractor within sixty (60) days of receipt of a pay request based upon work completed or service provided pursuant to the Contract, the City shall pay the Contractor interest at the rate of l/2% per month or pro rata fraction thereof, beginning the sixty-first (61st) day following receipt of the pay request. The Contractor's acceptance of progress payments or final payment shall release all claims for interest on said payments.

It is further mutually agreed between the Parties hereto that if, at any time after the execution of the Contract and the Performance Bond for its faithful performance and the Payment Bond, the first party shall deem the surety or sureties upon such bond to be inadequate to cover the performance of the work, the second party shall, at its expense, within five (5) days after the receipt of notice from the first party to do so, furnish an additional bond or bonds in such form and amount, and with such surety or sureties as shall be satisfactory to the first party. In such event, no further payment to the second party shall be deemed to be due under this Contract until such new or additional security for the faithful performance of the work shall be furnished in a manner and form satisfactory to the first party.

The parties agree that each of the provisions included in this Contract is separate, distinct and severable from the other and remaining provisions of this Contract, and that the invalidity of any Contract provision shall not affect the validity of any other provision or provisions of this Contract.
