The parties acknowledge that the Contractor's failure to achieve Substantial Completion of the Work within the Contract Time provided by the Contract Documents will cause the Owner to incur significant actual damages of types and in amounts which are impossible or extremely difficult to calculate and ascertain with certainty and accuracy. Accordingly, in lieu of actual damages for delay in Substantial Completion that is not caused solely by the Owner (hereinafter "Contractor Delay"), the Contractor agrees that liquidated damages will be assessed and recovered by the Owner against Contractor in the event of Contractor Delay and without the Owner being required to present any evidence of the amount or character of actual damages sustained by reason thereof. To the best of their ability and based on information available to them as of the time of entering into this Contract, Contractor and Owner have estimated that the fairest and best approximation of actual damages that will be incurred for each day of Contractor Delay beyond the Contract Time is Five hundred Dollars ($500.00) per calendar day. Therefore, in lieu of actual damages, Contractor shall pay Owner liquidated damages in the aforesaid amount per day for each calendar day of Contractor Delay. Such liquidated damages are intended to represent estimated actual damages and are not intended as a penalty, and Contractor shall pay them to Owner without limiting Owner's right to terminate this agreement for default as provided elsewhere herein. The U19067: CERL Farber Drive Extension & Reconstruction project impacts University operations such as project management, commissioning and inspection, and contract management that cannot be interrupted beyond the substantial completion date. Additionally, the extension would affect the consultant and staff at the Construction Engineering Research Lab (CERL). The gate and drive must be available to allow deliveries during business hours and employees to exit during and after business hours. When Owner reasonably believes that Substantial Completion will be inexcusably delayed, Owner shall be entitled, but not required, to withhold from any amounts otherwise due Contractor an amount then believed by Owner to be adequate to recover liquidated damages applicable to such delays. If and when Contractor overcomes Contractor Delay for which Owner has withheld payment and Owner reasonably believes that there has been or will be no other event of Contractor Delay for which Owner would be entitled to withhold from amounts otherwise due Contractor, Owner shall promptly release to Contractor those funds withheld, in anticipation of liquidated damages.
