Contracts such as ones for subway cars usually have performance milestone requirements. There will likely be penalties imposed BUT and this is a very big BUT:NYCT & The MTA parent org. never buy "off the shelf" Requirements for rail cars they buy are determined by NYCT engineering with concurrence of a consultant firm. Therefore, questions of design vs manufacturing quality become an issue. In addition, since Bombardier builds the cars in state, there is only so far the governor will allow the MTA to go if the result will be a loss in jobs. History repeats itself once again. |
