(c) If, and to the extent that, the contractor is delayed in the progress of the work by an act or neglect of owner, authorized representative or a separate contractor employed by owner (owner delay), contractor may apply for an extension of the contract time in accordance with the contract documents, but owner delay will not bar owner from recovery of damages for contractor delay beyond the contract time, as extended. (d) If, and to the extent that, the owner can meet the burden of proving that owner has suffered actual damages as a result of contractor delay substantially in excess of the assessable liquidated damages, the owner may retain or recover the excess actual damages in addition to the liquidated damages. (e) Regardless of the owner s retention or recovery of liquidated damages for the period of the delay up to the date of substantial completion, the owner may recover actual damages for breach of contract by the contractor accruing thereafter until final completion, such as for the contractor s failure to fully and timely complete uncompleted work (i.e., punch list items). 27

29 (f) Liquidated damages for delay shall only cover administrative, overhead and loss of public use damages suffered by owner as a result of delay. Liquidated damages shall not cover the cost of completion of the work, damages resulting from defective work, damages suffered by others who then seek to recover their damages from owner (for example, delay claims of other contractors, subcontractors, or tenants), and defense costs thereof.
