The Contractor will if required, furnish satisfactory evidence as to the kind and quality of materials. Superintendence The Contractor will assign to the project work during its progress, a competent project manager, representative of his authority, and any necessary assistance, all satisfactory to the Owner's representative. If the Contractor and/or his project manager and employees, in the course of the work, finds any discrepancy between the plans and the physical conditions of the locality, or any errors or omissions in plans or the layout as given by survey points and instructions, he will immediately inform the Owner's representative, in writing, and the Owner's representative will promptly verify the same.

The extension will be determined by the Boise Aviation Department Mike King or his duly assigned representative, whose decision will be final. The Contractor will notify the Owner's representative within two days of any occurrence which in the Contractor's opinion entitles them to an extension of time for completion. Such notice will be in writing. The Owner's representative will acknowledge in writing receipt of any such claim by the Contractor within 2 days of its receipt. Contractor Delays and Liquidated Damages Failure of the Contractor to complete the work within the time allowed will result in damages being sustained by the Owner.

36 FB AIRPORT HVAC CHANGE-OUT FY 10 completion of the work the Contractor will pay to the Owner, or have withheld from monies due, the sum of $100, unless otherwise provided under Special Provisions if present. Execution of the Contract under these specifications will constitute agreement by the Owner and Contractor that $100 per day is the minimum value of the costs and actual damage caused by failure of the Contractor to complete the work within the allotted time, and that such sum is liquidated damages and will not be construed as a penalty, and that such sum may be deducted from payments due the Contractor if such delay occurs. It is further agreed that in case the work called for under the Contract is not finished and completed in all parts and requirements within the number of calendar days specified, the Boise AVIATION DEPARTMENT representative will have the right to increase the number of calendar days or not, as he may deem best to serve the interest of the Owner, and if he decides to increase the said number of working days, he will further have the right to charge to the Contractor, and to deduct from the final payment for the work, all or any part, as he may deem proper, of the actual cost of design, engineering, inspection, superintendence and other overhead expenses which are directly chargeable to the contract, and which accrue during the period of such extension, except that cost of final surveys and preparation of final estimate will not be included in such charges. The Contractor will be granted an extension of time and will not be assessed for liquidated damages or the cost of engineering and inspection for any portion of the delay in completion of the work beyond the time agreed for the completion of the project as a result of epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, labor disputes, shortage of materials and freight embargoes, provided that the Contractor will notify the Boise AVIATION DEPARTMENT Representative in writing of the causes of delay within 5 days from the beginning of any such delay. The Boise AVIATION DEPARTMENT Project Manager will ascertain the facts and the extent of the delay, and his findings thereon will be final and conclusive. No extension of time will be granted for a delay caused by a shortage of materials unless the Contractor furnishes to the Boise AVIATION DEPARTMENT Project Manager documentary proof that he has diligently made every effort to obtain such materials from all known sources within reasonable reach of the work and further proof in the form of supplementary progress schedules, that the inability to obtain such materials when originally planned, did in fact cause a delay in final completion of the entire work which could not be compensated for by revising the sequence of the Contractor's operations.
