The City and the Contractor, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, agree as follows:
1. THE WORK

The Work comprises conducting environmental boring and drilling on the airport property, located at the Palm Springs International Airport, 3400 E.

2. COMMENCEMENT AND COMPLETION
The Work to be performed under this Contract shall commence on the date specified in the Notice to Proceed by the City, and the Work shall be fully completed within 40 working days.
The City and the Contractor recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement, and that the City will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the time specified in Article 2, herein, plus any extensions thereof allowed in accordance with applicable provisions of the Standard Specifications, as modified herein. The parties also recognize the delays, expense, and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by the City if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, the City and the Contractor agree that as liquidated damages or delay (but not as a penalty), the Contractor shall pay the City the sum specified in Section 6-9 of the Special Provisions for each calendar day that expires after the time specified in Article 2, herein. In executing the Agreement, the Contractor acknowledges it has reviewed the provisions of the Standard Specifications, as modified herein, related to liquidated damages, and has made itself aware of the actual loss incurred by the City due to the inability to complete the Work within the time specified in the Notice to Proceed. This Section does not exclude recovery of other damages specified in the Contract Documents. Liquidated damages may be deducted from progress payments due Contractor, Project retention or may be collected directly from Contractor, or from Contractor's surety. These provisions for liquidated damages shall not prevent the City, in case of Contractor's default, from terminating the Contractor.
