The use of Liquidated Damages (LD’s) as an enforcement tool for work completion is not a success. For some projects, the reliance on LD’S is simply a path to failure for timely performance. I/D’s are designed to enhance the project LD’s and encourage contractors to view the project with high importance to the completion schedule.
