Does anyone have a policy that could be shared regarding how to treat liquidated damage days in construction contracts where the contractor claims that the delays are due to COVID illness or restrictions?  A member is interested in if you allotted a certain amount of days and if so how you arrived at that number, what proof if any you required the days were COVID related, or similar matters.
Please feel free to forward me your responses directly at akellar@imla.orgmailto:akellar@imla.org and I'll pass them along.

Thank you,

Amanda
