,~; <br />notice to Contractor. In the event of a termination of this contract or a subcontract under these <br />~„- provisions, Contractor or the Subcontractor, if applicable, shall forfeit all rights under this contract <br />or the subcontract, as the case may be. The City's claim for damages under paragraph 15 and <br />any other relief available to City resulting from the Contractor's breach shall survive a termination <br />of the Contract. <br />15. Liquidated Damages. In the event the Work is not completed within the Work days as specified <br />in paragraph 2, Contractor will pay to City liquidated damages as specified in the Specifications. <br />The parties believe. that due to the costs of bringing an action and the difficulty of establishing the <br />exact amount of damages City will incur, it would be inconvenient and infeasible for City to bring <br />an action for the actual damages it will incur because of Contractor's failure to complete the Work <br />within the number of Work days. In order to compensate City for the damages City will suffer <br />because of a delay, the parties have estimated the amount City would be damaged for every <br />working day completion is delayed. The parties believe that the sum set as liquidated damages is <br />reasonably related to City's anticipated damages per working day after the Work days that the <br />Work is not completed. Contractor will not contest such sum as being other than a true measure <br />of damages in the event those damages become payable under these provisions. <br />16. Notices.
