The U S Attorney’s office in Vermont says general contractor J.A. McDonald, Inc. , headquartered in Lyndon Center, Vermont, has agreed to pay $637,500.00 to the United States and the State of Vermont to resolve allegations that JAM violated the federal False Claims Act, by knowingly causing the State of Vermont to present false claims for payment to the United States in connection with the federally-funded construction of several bridges on Route 279 in Bennington, and on Interstate 91 in Guilford. This settlement resolves allegations that, between approximately 2008 and 2010, employees materially altered certain components of the bridges at issue by cutting or burning multiple sections of reinforcing steel out of the reinforced-concrete substructures that support the bridges, and that workers took affirmative steps to conceal such material alterations from the Vermont Agency of Transportation.
