Description
We investigated allegations that a National Park Service (NPS) prime contractor failed to pay its subcontractors on two NPS construction contracts.
We found that the NPS prime contractor violated the Federal Acquisition Regulation’s prompt payment requirements when it failed to pay two subcontractors for work within 7 days of receiving a payment from the NPS. The prime contractor wrongfully withheld the full payment to a subcontractor for over 18 months for work completed in November 2017 at Saint-Gaudens National Historic Site. In the second case, the company withheld partial payment to another subcontractor for work completed at Voyageur National Park in September 2017.
