The Contractor shall pay the City the sum of FIVE HUNDRED Dollars ($500.00) <br />per day for each and every calendar day of unexcused delay in achieving Substantial <br />Completion beyond the date set forth herein for Final Completion of the Work. Any sums <br />due and payable hereunder by the Contractor shall be payable, not as a penalty, but as <br />liquidated damages representing an estimate of delay damages likely to be sustained by the <br />City, estimated at or before the time of executing this Contract. When the City reasonably <br />believes that Final Completion will be inexcusably delayed, the City shall be entitled, but <br />not required, to withhold from any amounts otherwise due the Contractor an amount then <br />believed by the City to be adequate to recover liquidated damages applicable to such <br />delays. <br />3.2. Notice to Proceed Date <br />3.2.1. Upon approval of the Contract for Construction by the City, the City Manager <br />shall issue a "Notice to Proceed" in which the "Notice to Proceed Date" is established as <br />set forth in paragraph 3.1.1. <br />3.2.2. Once the Notice to Proceed Date has been established, the Contractor shall <br />be responsible for the timely and successful completion of the Work and shall endeavor to <br />provide all applicable agencies having jurisdiction with all the required documentation <br />needed to successfully and timely continue the progress of the Work. This may include, <br />but is not limited to providing all necessary documentation in the form of shop drawings, <br />clarifications, calculations, technical data, protocols, product approvals, etc. <br />3.2.3. Under no circumstances will the City accept claims or be responsible for <br />delays arising from failed, unsuccessful, untimely, or late inspections or rejections of <br />inspected Work due to the fault of the Contractor for not supplying all of the necessary <br />documentation in the forms required or requested by the Building Official. <br />3.3 Substantial Completion <br />3.3.1. "Substantial Completion" shall mean that stage in the progression of the <br />Work when the Work is sufficiently complete in accordance with this Contract that the City <br />can enjoy beneficial use or occupancy of the Work and can utilize the Work for its intended <br />purpose. A condition precedent for the achievement of Substantial Completion is the <br />receipt by the City of any and all Certificates of Occupancy or other authorizations required <br />for occupancy by any governmental or regulatory authority. <br />Page 7 of 43 <br />275 <br />
