The parties agree that the liquidated damages are to compensate the School District for the lack of the completed project and equipment and are not a penalty for non-completion and are so fixed on a per diem basis because of the difficulty in ascertaining the true and full amount of damages that the School District will sustain if completion is not achieved by the date required.
