Critical Timeline Projects

For example, we worked on the High Level Bridge rehabilitation project in Alberta, Canada. That contract had the following clauses:

1. In the event that work affecting closure of the bridge is completed and opened to unbostructed traffic prior to November 12, 1995 the Contractor will be entitled to a bonus of $1600 (One thousand six hundred dollars) per calendar day from the date the bridge is opened to November 12, 1995.
2. In the event that work affecting closure of the bridge extends beyond November 12, 1995 the Contractor shall reimburse the City of Edmonton $11,600 (Eleven thousand six hundred dollars) per calendar day in liquidated damages for every day beyond Novemember 12, 1995 until such time the bridge is opened to unobstructed traffic.
3. The bridge will be considered 'opened to unobstructed traffic' when both travel lanes are open to traffic without any obstruction or impediments, and both sidewalks are opened without obstruction to pedestrians or cyclists, and all work affecting closure of the bridge is completed and accepted by the Engineer.
