<br /> i <br /> paragraph 15 and any other relief available to City resulting from the Contractor's breach shall survive <br /> a termination of the Contract. <br /> 14. Liquidated Damages. In the event the Work is not completed within the contract time as specified in <br /> the Contract Documents, Contractor will pay to City liquidated damages as specified in the <br /> Specifications. The parties believe that due to the costs of bringing an action and the difficulty of <br /> establishing the exact amount of damages City will incur, it would be inconvenient and infeasible for <br /> City to bring an action for the actual damages it will incur because of Contractor's failure to complete <br /> the Work within the Contract Time. 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 working <br /> day completion is delayed. The parties believe that the sum set as liquidated damages is reasonably <br /> related to City's anticipated damages per working day after the Contract Time that the Work is not <br /> completed. Contractor will not contest such sum as being other than a true measure of damages in <br /> the event those damages become payable under these provisions. <br /> 15. Notices. Any written notices permitted or required by this contract shall be deemed given when <br /> personally delivered, or five days after deposit in the United States mail, postage fully prepaid, <br /> certified, return receipt requested, addressed to the representatives of the parties as set forth below or <br /> when delivered by electronically confirmed facsimile transmission to the FAX address and attention of <br /> the representatives of the parties set for below: <br /> Contractor: Michael Wildish, Vice President <br /> Wildish Construction Co. _ <br /> PO Box 7428 <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> Phone: 541-485-1700 <br /> City: Mark Schoening, City Engineer <br /> City of Eugene <br /> 858 Pearl Street <br /> Eugene, OR 97401 <br /> FAX: 541-682-8410 <br /> or such other address as either party may provide to the other by notice given in accordance with <br /> this provision. <br /> 16.
