A nominal non-refundable tender document fee may be levied where applicable. Liquidated damages (LD) are strictly provisioned at 0.5 percent of the delayed milestone value per week of default, capped at a maximum ceiling of 10 percent of the total contract value, safeguarding the authority against performance delays.
