i've worked on lump sum projects where inspections (soils testing, rebar, concrete cylinders, welding, etc.) were payed for by the Owner... we had no part in it (other than coordinating). although they were negotiated contracts, not hard bid projects like the one in question.
no doubt... and maybe the ISD did hire a consultant to act as a manager over the arch/eng/contractor... if they didn't, they should have.

Ive done both on Lump Sum projects where the contractor and the owner have paid for this. Ive been in positions where the owner paid a 3rd party and I hired a 4th party, I had the money in the bid, so as to make sure my arse was totally covered. This sounds like a combination of faulty design and poor construction. Ultimately, the contractor will take the hit. Architects and Engineers always manage to escape this kind of blame.
