Alleged False Claim for Equitable Adjustment Unfounded

The OIG investigated allegations that a U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (USBR) contractor submitted a fraudulent claim for an equitable adjustment to a crane repair contract. The contractor allegedly altered cost submission documents submitted by the sub-contractor. 

We determined that the claim for equitable adjustment did not contain fraudulent information as alleged, and we confirmed that the sub-contractors cost submission documents submitted by the contractor were authentic.
