ARTICLE 10 - LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

10.01 LIQUIDATED DAMAGES/ECONOMIC DISINCENTIVE. The Contractor and the Owner agree that time is of the essence of this Contract. The Contractor and the Owner agree that a breach of this Contract by failure to complete the Work in the specified time will cause harm to the Owner, and further agree that the harm the Owner would sustain and the actual measure of damages the Owner would incur from the breach are incapable or very difficult of ascertainment. Therefore, the Contractor and the Owner agree that for each and every calendar day the Work or any portion thereof shall remain uncompleted after the expiration of the time limit(s) set in the Contract, or as extended under the provisions of these General Conditions (including, without limitation, due to a delay caused by Contractor’s failure to comply with the Contract Documents or due to Owner’s termination of Contractor for default under the Contract Documents), Contractor shall be liable to Owner for liquidated damages or economic disincentives under Section 49.271(e) of Texas Water Code, in the amount of $1000 for each such calendar day, which sum the parties agree is a reasonable forecast of the damages the Owner will sustain per day that the Work remains uncompleted and in no way constitutes a penalty. The Owner shall have the option to deduct and withhold said amount from any monies that the Owner owes the Contractor or its sureties or to recover such amount from the Contractor or the sureties on the Contractor’s bond.

Section 00100 – Instructions to Bidders Page 6 of 9

ARTICLE 11 - SUBSTITUTE AND “OR-EQUAL” ITEMS

Owner further reserves the right to reject the Bid of any Bidder whom it finds, after reasonable inquiry and evaluation, to not be responsible. Owner may also reject the Bid of any Bidder if Owner believes that it would not be in the best interest of the Project to make an award to that Bidder.

19.02 More than one Bid for the same Work from an individual or entity under the same or different names will not be considered. Reasonable grounds for believing that any Bidder has an interest in more than one Bid for the Work may be cause for disqualification of that Bidder and the rejection of all Bids in which that Bidder has an interest.
