• reiterating that “[t]he mere fact that the parties are in disagreement on construction to be given to the contract does not necessarily establish an ambiguity” (quoting Levenson v. Mobley, 744 P.2d 174, 176 (N.M. 1987)
• ‘‘an award of actual damages unrelated to delay does not preclude an award of liquidated damages for delay-related damages’’ as ‘‘[t]he vice to be guarded against is a duplication of damages’’ (internal quotation marks omitted)
