Inquiry No.	Inquiry
1	Plan Sheet / Specification Reference= Section 4 Page 8 Begining of work, time of completion and liquidated damages for contract # 11-074804. Will 90 working days be alotted per facility or is that the total working days for this contract. I also noticed that liquidated damages are $400.00 per day which is substantially higher than the typical $250.00 per day. Is there some reason for this? The total working days for this job is 90 working days and the liquidated damages are $400.00/day.The LD's are higher because this building needs to be completed and operational before next winter.
