Liquidated damages are set at $1,000 per calendar day for each day beyond the substantial completion date. The project is anticipated to be funded with state funds with a contingency that funding is dependent upon the agency's receipt of sufficient project funding; however, no specific budget amount or award value range is disclosed in the solicitation documents.
