This is a service / maintenance or supply contract in Bath, New York. Contact the soliciting agency for additional information.

The County and the awardee recognize and agree that time is of the essence in this matter and that the County will suffer financial loss if the contracted work is not completed in the specified time. Additionally, both parties recognize the delays, expense and difficulties involved in proving in a legal or arbitration proceeding the actual loss suffered by the County if the work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, the County and the awardee agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty) the awardee shall pay the County three hundred dollars ($300.00) for each calendar day that expires beyond the time period described in the completion of work clause of this bid solicitation. Additionally, with regard to any project which is not completed on or within twenty (20) calendar days of issuance of written project notification; Steuben County reserves as its right, the right to contract with another contractor to complete said project. The additional cost to hire another contractor shall be borne by the awardee. The Engineer will calculate the average of the density readings at each of the three test locations. The highest average density will be the PTD for monitoring the pavement density during routine paving operations. Compact the pavement sufficiently to achieve the PTD value. The minimum acceptable density reading will be 96% or maximum of 103% of the PTD in a single test location and 98% of the PTD calculated as a moving average of the last 10 test locations as determined by a density gauge. Take density readings at each location, randomly selected by the Engineer, approximately every 200 feet along the length of the pavement for each pass of the paver. Record these values using the NYS DOT Form BR340. If density readings over two consecutive locations fall below 96% or above 103% of the PTD or if the moving average of the last 10 density readings falls below 98% of the PTD, stop routine paving operations and determine the cause of the out of range readings.
