Cit of Everett - <br /> y 00 5213 2 <br /> South Precinct Roof Replacement <br /> stated above. Because it is difficult to accurately compute the amount of such costs <br /> and damages, the Contractor hereby covenants and agrees to pay to the City liquidated <br /> damages for each and every calendar day (or working day, if Contract Time is <br /> described in working days) in the amounts set forth in this Section. For failure to <br /> achieve Substantial Completion by the Substantial Completion date stated above, the <br /> Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the City computed at the daily rate of fifteen <br /> percent (15%) of the Contract Sum multiplied by the number of days that it took the <br /> Contractor to achieve Substantial Completion that exceeded Contract Time divided by <br /> the number of days of Contract Time stated above. Once Substantial Completion is <br /> achieved, for failure to achieve Physical Completion by the Physical Completion Date <br /> stated above, the Contractor shall pay liquidated damages at the daily rate of ten <br /> percent (10%) of the liquidated damages rate applicable to delays to Substantial <br /> Completion. <br /> 4. Contract Sum. The amount of this Contract is <br /> 4(8 “0,x3 ($ ) and is based <br /> on the proposal/bid submitted by Contractor dated `7/16/d.,19 . The basis for final 1 <br /> payment will be the actual amount of work performed according to the Contract <br /> Documents and payments, whether partial or final, shall be made as specified therein. <br /> If, and to the extent, payment (in whole or in part) is based upon unit prices multiplied by <br /> quantities of work actually performed, the total amount paid to the Contractor may be <br /> less than Contract Sum stated herein and the Contractor agrees to execute one or more <br /> change orders in such event. In no event shall the total amount paid Contractor exceed <br /> the Contract Sum stated herein, unless the Contract amount has first been increased by <br /> one or more Change Orders signed by the City. The City may, in its sole discretion, <br /> withhold amounts from payments otherwise due as offsets or back charges for <br /> expenses, damages, liquidated damages or costs for which the Contractor is liable for <br /> not to exceed 10% of the total amount of the contract. If the City chooses not to offset or <br /> deduct any such expenses, damages, liquidated damages or costs from one or more <br /> payments or return of retainage, the City does not waive its claim for such damages and <br /> hereby expressly reserves its right to assert a claim against the Contractor for such <br /> damages. <br /> 5. Withholding. Five percent (5%) of amounts due Contractor shall be retained and <br /> withheld to ensure to comply with RCW Chap. 60.28. Retained amounts shall only be <br /> released: (A) as required by law or (B) sixty (60) days after completion of all contract <br /> work if there are no claims against the retained funds. In addition to the amounts <br /> required by RCW 60.28 to be withheld from the progress or retained percentage <br /> payments to the Contractor, the City may, in its sole discretion, withhold any amounts <br /> sufficient to pay any claim against the Contractor of which the City may have knowledge <br /> and regardless of the informalities of notice of such claim arising out of the performance <br /> of this contract. The City may withhold the amount until either the Contractor secures a <br /> written release from the claimant, obtains a court decision that such claim is without <br /> merit, or satisfies any judgment in favor of the claimant on such claim. The City shall <br /> not be liable for interest during the period the funds are so held. <br /> I <br /> 00 5213 - 2 AGREEMENT FORM <br />
