The parties also recognize that it will be impracticable to determine actual damages which OWNER will sustain in the event of or by reason of the delay. Accordingly, instead of requiring any such proof, OWNER and CONTRACTOR agree that as liquidated damages for delay (but not as a penalty) CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER the following amounts for each day that expires after the specified time in paragraph 3.02 for substantial completion of the individual phases of the Work until the Work associated with that phase is substantially complete. After substantial completion, if CONTRACTOR shall neglect, refuse, or fail to complete the remaining Work within the contract time or any proper extension thereof granted by OWNER, CONTRACTOR shall pay OWNER the following amounts for each day that expires after the time specified in paragraph 3.02 for completion and readiness for final payment until the Work is completed and ready for final payment. It is further agreed that the amount stipulated for liquidated damages per day of delay is a reasonable estimate of the damages that would be sustained by OWNER, and CONTRACTOR agrees to pay such liquidated damages as herein provided. In case the liquidated damages are not paid, CONTRACTOR agrees that OWNER may deduct the amount thereof from any money due or that may become due to CONTRACTOR by progress payments or otherwise under the Agreement, or if said amount is not sufficient, recover the total amount.
