The Contractor acknowledges that time is of the essence for the Contractor to render its services and that the City will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the times specified in paragraph 3 above. The Contractor acknowledges the expense and difficulties involved in proving the actual loss suffered by the City if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, the City and Contractor agree that as liquidated damages for any delay (but not as a penalty), the Contractor shall pay the City TWO HUNDRED FIFTY AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250.00) for each day that expires after the time specified in Section 3 for substantial completion until the Work is substantially complete. After substantial completion, if Contractor neglects, refuses, or fails to complete the remaining Work within the time specified in Section 3, Contractor shall pay the City TWO HUNDRED FIFTY AND NO/100 DOLLARS ($250.00) for each day that expires after the time specified in Section 3 for completion and readiness for final payment.
