ARTICLE 14
COMPLETION DATE
14.1 SUBSTANTIAL COMPLETION. Design/Builder agrees to cause the
Substantial Completion of the Work (as defined in subsection 31.8 of the General
Conditions, Attachment D) on or before 790 calendar days from either January 12,

14.3 COMPENSATION FOR EARLY/LATE COMPLETION. In lieu of Owner procuring,
at Design/Builder's cost, a liquidated damages insurance policy or a business
interruption
Design/Build Contract ______
December 9, 1997
Page 9 ______
insurance policy to compensate Owner for late completion of the Work, the
parties agree as follows: Owner shall pay Design/Builder Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000.00) as a Bonus Advance upon the issuance of the Notice to Proceed.
Design/Builder may, at its option, use the Bonus Advance to purchase liquidated
damages insurance or it may elect to self-insure. In either event,
Design/Builder shall be entitled to keep the Bonus Advance as a bonus if the
Project is Substantially Complete within the Contract Time.
As a further bonus, Design/Builder shall be entitled to receive one hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000.00) for each day, up to but not to exceed ninety (90)
days, that the Project is Substantially Completed in advance of the Contract
Time.
If Design/Builder fails to achieve Substantial Completion of the Project
within the Contract Time, Design/Builder must pay back the Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000.00) Bonus Advance to Owner because Design/Builder will have failed
to earn these bonus monies and further Design/Builder shall pay Owner, as
liquidated damages and not as a penalty, one hundred thousand dollars
($100,000.00) per day commencing upon the first day following expiration of the
Contract Time and continuing up to ninety (90) days thereafter. The parties
agree that such liquidated damages are a reasonable estimate of damages Owner
will incur as a result of delayed completion of the Work inasmuch as it is not
possible to ascertain in advance the actual damages which Owner may incur as a
result of the delayed Substantial Completion of the Work.
Owner may deduct liquidated damages as described above from any unpaid
amounts then or thereafter due to Design/Builder under this Agreement. Any
liquidated damages not so deducted from any unpaid amounts due Design/Builder
shall be payable immediately to Owner upon Owner's demand.
The parties agree that Design/Builder's payment of these liquidated damages
and the return of the Bonus Advance shall be Owner's sole and exclusive remedy
for Design/Builder's failure to achieve Substantial Completion within the
Contract Time.
The terms Substantial Completion and Substantially Complete as used herein
shall have the same meaning.
The bonuses referred to in this Article are not included in the GMP.
