They could give Graham a lower score in past history but if they were better at everything else they could still win the bid.

That seems very different than what is being proposed here (i.e., complete disqualification of a firm if they have launched legal action against the city.) Secondly, presumably "past history" should refer to quality of work, not whether a commercial dispute happened to arise (which can happen for many reasons, many totally out of the control of one or either of the parties.)
