CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE, PROGRESS OF WORK, LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
In accordance with the provisions of Subsection 6-1 of the Standard Specifications, and/or as
may be provided for within the herein Special Provisions, after notification of award and prior
to start of any work, the Contractor shall submit to the Engineer for approval its proposed
Construction Schedule. At a scheduled date prior to commencement of work, the Contractor
and all subcontractors shall attend a pre-construction conference at the City Hall.
The selected Contractor shall complete the project per the schedule indicated in the Notice of
Inviting Bids section of the specifications.
The Contractor agrees that failure to complete work within the time allowed will result in
damages being sustained by the City. Contractor and City agree that failure to complete the
project will result in inconvenience to the citizens of Alhambra. The parties also agree that
failure to complete the project on time will prevent the City from having the use of the affected
facilities. Therefore, the parties agree such damages among others are, and will continue to
be, impracticable and extremely difficult to determine, but that Five Hundred Dollars ($500) a
calendar day is the minimum value of such costs to the City and is a reasonable amount that
the Contractor agrees to reimburse the City for each calendar day of delay in finishing the
work in excess of the time specified for completion, plus any authorized time extensions.
Execution of the contract under these specifications shall constitute agreement by the
Contractor and the City that the above indicated liquidated damage amount per calendar day
is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused by failure of the Contractor to
complete the work within the allotted time, that such sum is liquidated damages and shall not
be construed as a penalty, and that such sum may be deducted from payments due the
Contractor if such delay occurs. Said amount may be reduced by the City if work is sufficiently
completed within the/an allotted time so that the damages are minimized.
All construction graffiti shall be removed prior to the release of retention payment
