LIQUIDATED DAMAGES: If Contractor neglects, fails, or refuses to satisfactorily complete the Work by the Completion Date noted on the Contract, Contractor shall, as a part of the consideration for this Agreement, pay the District the amount stipulated herein, not as a penalty, but as liquidated damages for such breach, for each day Contractor is in default thereafter. This amount is fixed and agreed upon between the parties due to the impracticability and extreme difficulty of ascertaining the actual damages the District would sustain in such event. The amount of liquidated damages shall be one half of one percent (.5%) of the total contract amount per day. Liquidated damages shall be deducted from payments as they become due and may be deducted from the retainage due upon completion. They constitute an agreed-upon liquidated sum solely for consequential damages attributable to delay and are not a substitute for any other consequential damages incurred by the District, such as the cost of finding a replacement Contractor for completion of the Work if this Agreement is terminated by the District for non-performance. (b) Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the District determines that Contractor's reasons for the time extension are acceptable in accordance with FORCE MAJEURE; DELAYS; EXTENSION OF COMPLETION DATE. A written extension of the Completion Date constitutes a waiver of liquidated damages to the new Completion Date unless expressly provided therein to the contrary
