As both Poacher and Game keeper and a b*****d I have to point out that the contractor would never be expected to keep to a fixed price contract if the County decided further work was required due to further developments that had arisen during the evaluation/excavation. Now a good contract with the developer would have pointed out that the price is based on A B C and if (god forbid Mr House Builder!!) D happens then the county will have to decide whether or not more work is required... then it will be up to county to convince Mr House Builder to cough up more....
IF however you mean that a county tosses back a peice of work because it is not seen to comply with the requirements of the original request OR meets the minimum requirements set out in the contractors own WSI ... then I am afraid unless the contractor has a pretty good reason why it falls below was expected the cost must be bourne by them...
Examples might be... not putting in enough trenches... not informing the county when work has started until the last day ... then saying they have to be filled in that day....... etc etc.
Hmmmmmmm
