Unfounded Allegations of Fraud on a Boat Access Renovation Project

Description

The OIG investigated allegations of contract fraud and misuse of Federal funds related to a municipal boat access site renovation partially funded by a grant from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (FWS).

We did not substantiate allegations of contract fraud or the misuse of Federal funds. The problems we identified appeared to be the result of poor project management and poor workmanship, rather than fraud. The municipality has initiated legal proceedings to resolve the problems with the contractor.
