We used to have"Liquidated Damage" clauses where a fixed amount would be deducted from the contract amount for various items of non-compliance. This was to pay for delays and the cost of the fix.

RE: Tolerances?
For piling driven (by necessity) with swinging leads and possibly thru water (such as for many bridges) there is much more chance for exceeding a 3" tolerance at the pile butt. I'd say maybe 1/3 to 1/2 out of that spec. Fortunately this variation can often be compensated for by an intentional slight batter (within specs) to bring the butt back near the correct location.
