Again, improper welds do not change the scope of the project, and thus there will not be a change order to cover the cost. I highly HIGHLY doubt that Graham is going to get extra money out of the city.

It is all dependent on how the contract was written. I have seen countless times where a contract/PO was not written clearly enough and there was the ability for the vendor to apply cost adders back in order to facilitate the delivery of the final product, regardless of the statements they would meet requirements initially.
All it takes is statements like "well, if we don't get extra money to cover to cost of these repairs it will add 8 months to the schedule"
The city will pay.
