Section 005213 <br /> Agreement Form <br /> 3. Liquidated Damages. The parties agree the City will suffer damage and be put to addi- <br /> tional expense in the event that the Contractor does not complete the Work in all respects and <br /> have it ready for use by the Substantial and Physical Completion dates stated above. Because it <br /> is difficult to accurately compute the amount of such costs and damages, the Contractor hereby <br /> covenants and agrees to pay to the City liquidated damages for each and every calendar day(or <br /> working day, if Contract Time is described in working days) in the amounts set forth in this Sec- <br /> tion. For failure to achieve Substantial Completion by the Substantial Completion date stated <br /> above, the Contractor shall pay liquidated damages to the City computed at the daily rate of fif- <br /> teen percent(15%) of the Contract Sum multiplied by the number of days that it took the Con- <br /> tractor to achieve Substantial Completion that exceeded Contract Time divided by the number of <br /> days of Contract Time stated above. Once Substantial Completion is achieved, for failure to <br /> achieve Physical Completion by the Physical Completion Date stated above, the Contractor shall <br /> pay liquidated damages at the daily rate of ten percent(10%) of the liquidated damages rate ap- <br /> plicable to delays to Substantial Completion. <br /> 4. Contract Sum. The amount of this Contract is <br /> ($ , FC©) 1 uO ,ao ) <br /> and is based on the proposal/bid submitted by Contractor dated 2/0g/it, . The <br /> basis for final 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. If, and to <br /> the extent,payment(in whole or in part) is based upon unit prices multiplied by quantities of <br /> work actually performed, the total amount paid to the Contractor may be less than Contract Sum <br /> stated herein and the Contractor agrees to execute one or more change orders in such event. In <br /> no event shall the total amount paid Contractor exceed the Contract Sum stated herein, unless the <br /> Contract amount has first been increased by one or more Change Orders signed by the City. The <br /> City may, in its sole discretion, withhold amounts from payments otherwise due as offsets or <br /> backcharges for expenses, damages, liquidated damages or costs for which the Contractor is <br /> liable for not to exceed 10% of the total amount of the contract. If the City chooses not to offset <br /> or deduct any such expenses, damages, liquidated damages or costs from one or more payments <br /> or return of retainage, the City does not waive its claim for such damages and hereby expressly <br /> reserves its right to assert a claim against the Contractor for such 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 released: <br /> (A) as required by law or(B) sixty(60) days after completion of all contract work if there are no <br /> claims against the retained funds. In addition to the amounts required by RCW 60.28 to be <br /> withheld from the progress or retained percentage payments to the Contractor, the City may, in <br /> its sole discretion, withhold any amounts sufficient to pay any claim against the Contractor of <br /> which the City may have knowledge and regardless of the informalities of notice of such claim <br /> arising out of the performance of this contract. The City may withhold the amount until either <br /> the Contractor secures a written release from the claimant, obtains a court decision that such <br /> claim is without merit, or satisfies any judgment in favor of the claimant on such claim. The <br /> City shall not be liable for interest during the period the funds are so held. <br /> Kasch Park Soccer Fields-Synthetic Turf Replacement Phase 2 <br /> 2 of 6 <br />
