The aforesaid amount is fixed and agreed upon by and between the CONTRACTOR and the OWNER because both parties recognize that the OWNER and its citizens will suffer actual damages if the CONTRACTOR fails to complete the work within the time specified herein but such damages are indeterminable and difficult to measure at the time of contracting. In making their agreement regarding liquidated damages, the parties have considered, among other things: (a) that this is a public project, i.e. a project being built by the OWNER for the benefit of and use by its citizens and the public generally, and that any delay in its scheduled completion will cause damages to those persons anticipated to use the project, which will be difficult to measure; and (b) that the OWNER'S staff will be required to monitor the CONTRACTOR throughout the pendency of construction, and the longer that construction takes, the longer the owner will be required to devote the services of its personnel and, in some instances employ the services of its consultants, all at additional expense to the OWNER. The CONTRACTOR recognizes the foregoing, and agrees that the amount of liquidated damages fixed and agreed upon herein is a reasonable estimate made at the inception of the Contract and agrees that such is not a penalty. It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of this contract and of the SPECIFICATIONS wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the performance of any act whatsoever. Where under the Contract an additional time is allowed for the completion of any work, the new time limit fixed by such extension shall be of the essence for this Contract. The CONTRACTOR shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the OWNER determines that the CONTRACTOR is without fault and the CONTRACTOR's reason(s) for the time extension are acceptable to the OWNER. The CONTRACTOR shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the delay of completion of the work is due.
