What Recourse do Governments Have for Shoddy Hwy Projects

dimanche 27 juillet 2014

I realize this question may be jurisdiction specific but I'm curious how poor workmanship is handled in your areas. Following is the background to my question.



A very large and well known road construction company has done two major projects within 60 miles of me within the last 15 years. In both cases within two years it became VERY obvious that the workmanship was garbage. One example is, the highway will have a 6-12 "dish" the width of the hwy and anywhere from 4-12 ft wide. This "dish" can happen up to six times a mile and then sometimes none for a few miles. This gets to be a safety issue as well as extremely hard on vehicles and passengers. Our highways department has expended much effort to fix these problems to no avail. Do state or provincial governments have any options for?

1. requiring the original contractor to repair at his cost?

2. insurance against rogue contractors?

3. permanently banning a corporation from government projects without lots of legal wrangling?
