Consideration will be given only to Bids of Contractors who are able to submit evidence showing that they are properly licensed under "An Act to Regulate the Practice of General Contracting", ratified by the General Assembly of North Carolina on March 10, 1925, and so subsequently amended. The Town of Butner reserves the right to waive any informality or to reject any or all bids. The Owner also reserves the right to increase or diminish the quantities or items given in the Proposal and to award Contracts which appear to be in the best interest of the Town. Each Contractor submitting a Proposal for this work, when requested, shall produce evidence of experience in constructing a project of similar size and nature. Contractors that are unable to produce this evidence may be rejected although they are low Bidders. Time is an essential element of this contract, and delay in completing the work will result in damagesto the Owner due to public inconvenience, obstruction in traffic, interference with business, and increased engineering, inspection, and administration costs. In view of the difficulty of making a precise determination of such damages, the Owner and Contractor agree that the sum of six hundred dollars ($600.00) per calendar day will be charged against the Contractor for each calendar day that the work remains uncompleted after the Base Bid completion period has passed, not as a penalty but as liquidated damages. This sum represents a reasonable estimate of the amount of damages to be suffered by the Owner each day in the event the work is not completed by the date specified. By submitting a bid, the Bidder acknowledges that the amount set forth above is a reasonable projection of the amount of damages to be suffered by the Owner in the event of a delay in completion of the work by the date specified, and that the Bidder has considered thisliquidated damages provision in preparing the bid.
