What Scott said. Was it design build? Where did the flow test comes from? Was there a change in flow test between design and construction? With a change why? With a change, for example the City turning down the pressure after the design test but before the construction test, probably not the contractors problem. But if you tell me you need a pump and you do the wrong remote area, don't take reduction allowances, use 5.6 heads where 8 work and 1" BL then probably not justified. And yes, been part of both scenarios recently. One paid, one didn't.
