  **II.15.1. Delay in delivery**
  
  If the contractor fails to perform its contractual obligations within the applicable time limits 
  set out in this FWC, the contracting authority may claim liquidated damages for each day 
  of delay using the following formula: 
  
  0.3 x (*V/d*) 
  
  where: 
  
  *V*is the price of the relevant purchase or deliverable or*result*; 
  
  *d*is the duration specified in the relevant specific contract for delivery of the relevant 
  purchase or deliverable or*result*or, failing that, the period between the date specified in 
  Article I.4.2 and the date of delivery or performance specified in the relevant specific 
  contract, expressed in days. 
  
  Liquidated damages may be imposed together with a reduction in price under the 
  conditions laid down in Article II.16. 
  
  **II.15.2. Procedure**
  
  The contracting authority must*formally notify*the contractor of its intention to apply 
  liquidated damages and the corresponding calculated amount. 
  
  The contractor has 30 days following the date of receipt to submit observations. Failing 
  that, the decision becomes enforceable the day after the time limit for submitting 
  observations has elapsed.
