Hey Mike - it's annoying when things like this happen. I've had
similar things happen in the past and I usually tell the client that
the other company's work is sub-standard, but also say that they
should take it back to the other company and ask for a new version
that is:

a) W3C standards-compliant
b) bandwidth-efficient
c) in line with current best practices

This does two things: it tells the client you're not just bad-mouthing
the other company to try and get the work yourself, and also spreads
the word to the other company that it's time to stop partying like
it's 1999.

Whatever you decide to do, you should definitely NOT be recoding their
work without being paid for it.
