if Work is not completed within the Contract times specified in paragraph 3.1 above
plus any extensions thereof allowed. They also recognize the delays, expense and
difficulties involved in proving in a legal or arbitration proceeding the actual loss

neglect, refuse, or fail to complete the remaining Work within the Contract Time,
Contractor shall pay Owner Two Hundred DoDan (5200.00) for each calendar
day that expires after the time specified in Paragraph 3.1 for completion and
readiness for final payment. These amounts represent a reasonable estimate of
Owner's expenses for extended delays and for inspection, engineering services and
administrative costs associated with such delay.
4. In such construction said Contractor shall furnish all implements, machinery, equipment,
transportation, tools, materials, supplies labor, and other things necessary to the execution
and completion of the Work, nothing being required of the City except that it may, at its
expense, supervise such construction and enter upon and inspect the same at all reasonable
times.
5. If any dispute arises between the City and said Contractor with reference to the meaning or
requirements of any part of this Contract and they cannot agree, the more stringent
requirements shall govern as determined by the City.
6. If the Contractor shall complete the construction herein contemplated in a good and
workmanlike manner within the time herein specified and in accord herewith, the said City
shall pay to the Contractor the contract sum in accordance with the Conditions of the
Contract. The City, by allowing Contractor to continue with said construction after the time
for its completion hereinbefore stated shall not deprive City of the right to exercise any
option in this Agreement contained nor shall it operate to alter any other term of this
Agreement.
