2.1 Contractor shall be instructed to commence the Work by written instructions in
the fonn of a Blanket Purchase Order issued by the City's Procurement Director

to Proceed will be issued for this Contract. Contractor shall commence
scheduling activities, permit applications and other preconstruction work within
five (5) calendar days after the Project Initiation Date, which shall be the same as
the date of the first Notice to Proceed. The first Notice to Proceed and Purchase
Order will not be issued until Contractor's submission to City of all required
documents (including but limited to: Payment and Performance Bonds, and
Insurance Certificate) and after execution of the Contract by both parties.
2.1.1. The receipt of all necessary permits by Contractor and acceptance of
the full progress schedule in accordance with technical specifications
section, submittal schedule and schedule of values is a condition
precedent to the issuance of a second Notice to Proceed to mobilize on
the Project site and commence with physical construction of the work.
The Contractor shall submit all necessary documents required by this
provision within twenty-one (21) calendar days of the issuance of the
first Notice to Proceed.
2.2 Time is of the essence throughout this Contract. This project shall be
substantially completed within three hundred (300) calendar days from the
issuance of the second Notice to Proceed, and completed and ready for final
payment in accordance with Article 5 within thirty (30) calendar days from the
dale certified by Consultant as the date of Substantial Completion.
2.3 Upon failure of Contractor to substantially complete the Contract within the
specified period of time, plus approved time extensions, Contractor shall pay to
City the sum of One-Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00) for each calendar day after
the time specified in Section 2.2 above, plus any approved time extensions, for
Substantial Completion. After Substantial Completion should Contractor fail to
complete the remaining work within the time specified in Section 2.2 above, plus
approved time extensions thereof, for completion and readiness for final
payment, Contractor shall pay to City the sum of One-Thousand Dollars
(E1,000) for each calendar day after the time specified in Section 2.2 above, plus
any approved extensions, for completion and readiness for final payment. These
amounts are not penalties but are liquidated damages to City for its inability to

are hereby fixed and agreed upon between the parties, recognizing the
impossibility of precisely ascertaining the amount of damages that will be
sustained by City as a consequence of such delay, and both parties desiring to
obviate any question of dispute concerning the amount of said damages and the
cost and effect of the failure of ConUactor to complete the Contract on time.
The above-stated liquidated damages shall apply separately to each portion of
