AMEC Construction Management has paid the federal government over $19 million to resolve allegations of fraud, false claims and kickbacks on four General Services Administration (GSA) construction contracts.
The United States had brought suit to recover damages and penalties under the False Claims Act, the Anti-Kickback Act and common law theories for false bond reimbursement claims submitted by AMEC to the GSA and bond premium kickbacks paid by the company’s bond broker to AMEC’s United Kingdom parent company.
