Bid No. 2018045/IRC-1523 A. CONTRACTOR and OWNER recognize that time is of the essence of this Agreement and that OWNER will suffer financial loss if the Work is not completed within the times specified in paragraph 3.02 above, plus any extensions thereof allowed in writing as a change order to this Agreement. Liquidated damages will commence for this portion of work. The parties also recognize the delays, expense, and difficulties involved in proving in a legal proceeding the actual loss suffered by OWNER if the Work is not completed on time. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty), CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER $958.00 for each calendar day that expires after the time specified in paragraph 3.02 for completion and readiness for final payment until the Work is completed and ready for final payment. ARTICLE 4 - CONTRACT PRICE 4.01 OWNER shall pay CONTRACTOR for completion of the Work an amount in current funds equal to the sum of the amounts determined pursuant to paragraph 4.01.A and summarized in paragraph 4.01.6, below: A.

All payments for services shall be made to the CONTRACTOR by the COUNTY in accordance with the Local Government Prompt Payment Act, as may be amended from time to time (Section 218.70, Florida Statutes, et seq.). 5.02 Acceptance of Final Payment as Release The acceptance by the CONTRACTOR of final payment shall be and shall operate as a release to the OWNER from all claims and all liability to the CONTRACTOR other than claims in stated amounts as may be specifically excepted by the CONTRACTOR for all things done or furnished in connection with the work under this Agreement and for every act and neglect of the OWNER and others relating to or arising out of the work. Any payment, however, final or otherwise, shall not release the CONTRACTOR or its sureties from any obligations under this Agreement, the Invitation to Bid or the Public Construction Bond.
