City Commission Meeting · 2026-07-27 · agenda_item

This agenda item concerns a contract provision for liquidated damages related to a construction project. The City of Leesburg is proposing a clause where a contractor would pay $904 per calendar day for work not completed by the deadline. This amount is based on F DOT Standard Specification for Road and Bridge Construction. The provision is considered material to the City, and the contractor would be unable to dispute its validity or enforceability. The City also reserves the right to declare the contract forfeited or take over the work. This item is currently under review by the City Commission. If approved, this contract clause would impact projects requiring timely completion, potentially involving site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, building construction, and final landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers involved in city projects should monitor this item, as such clauses can affect project timelines and costs. Early awareness allows businesses to understand potential contractual obligations and prepare accordingly.
