The federal government spends billions on public works projects and construction of federal buildings. Fraudulent practices by contractors include bid-rigging, overcharging for contracts, and failing to follow project specifications. All of those practices could be the basis of a qui tam lawsuit brought under the False Claims Act.
Companies that violate the terms of their contracts and fail to properly oversee the safe and proper construction of the contracted project are subject to qui tam ( whistleblowing) reporting. As many federal contracts are also linked to state contract awards, whistleblowers receive reward benefits at both the federal and state levels.
