Practice Exam 3 - Case study 1, Nonconforming Accessible Ramp

With regard to the question where the accessibility architect has deemed the accessible ramps, constructed during the project, to be nonconforming work.

What actions can the owner take?

  • One of the correct answers is to ‘Accept the work with a reduction in the Contract Sum’

So my question, why accept a nonconforming ramp with a reduction in price if the completed work is NOT acceptable by federal standards?
