Those specs in the contract might only apply to things that GrandLinq designed/built/supplied. For example, if the region supplied trains that were totally incapable of operating freezing rain, I can't imagine GrandLinq would then be on the hook for the system not working. I think that's reasonable, that GrandLinq doesn't owe penalties if something they didn't supply doesn't meet requirements.
There's definitely issues with P3s, but this might be the fault of the region/Metrolinx. There's a reason these contracts normally include vehicles.
