The county is statutorily obligated to comply with minimum standards related to issuance of said goods and it is mutually understood and agreed by and between the successful bidder and the county that a delay will seriously affect compliance and business operations resulting in damages being sustained by county. It is also understood and agreed that the nature and amount of the damages will be extremely difficult and impractical to fix; that the liquidated damages set forth herein are the nearest and most reasonable measure of damages for such delay that can be fixed now; and that the liquidated damages are not intended as a penalty or forfeiture for the successful bidder's breach. The liquidated sums specified represent a fair approximation of the damages incurred by the county resulting from the successful bidder's failure to meet the delivery date for which an amount of liquidated damages is specified. The county's right to liquidated damages shall be in addition to and not instead of all other remedies available to county, contractually, in law or in equity.

Should the successful bidder be obstructed or delayed in delivering the goods required due to changes in the purchase order or by any default, act, or omission of the county, or by strikes, fires, acts of god, or by the inability to obtain materials, equipment, or labor due to federal government restrictions arising out of the defense or war program, then the time of completion shall be extended for such periods as may be agreed upon by county and the successful bidder. If there is insufficient time to grant extensions prior to the delivery date set forth in the purchase order, the county may, at the time of acceptance of the goods, waive liquidated damages which may have accrued for failure to deliver on time due to any of the above, after hearing evidence as to the reasons for such delay and making a finding as to the cause of the delay. In the event that the successful bidder is on strike at the time of the award of the bid, the county reserves the option to accept the first acceptable bid from a manufacturer/vendor that is not on strike.
