<br />contract language should be fixed to address the weather conditions. Mr. Murray Miller, Local
<br />Union 645, stated every other contractor was working around the City in February, why was this

<br />had no contract language to fall back on. Mr. Jacob Klosinski, Environmental Services, added
<br />the time extension doesn't eliminate the contractor from damages, they will be assessed
<br />liquidated damages. Mr. Gilot agreed, noting even when they are given days, they will still be
