Hoefer v. Fluor Daniel (Overcharging the Government)
According to the US Attorney’s Office for the Central District of California, Fluor paid $8.2 million plus $300,000 in attorney’s fees to settle allegations of overcharging the Government. “During 1995 and 1996, Fluor Daniel charged millions of dollars of commercial costs to its federal cost reimbursement contracts, and then certified to the United States that the charges were proper, according to the government’s complaint. But, according to the lawsuit, the corporation knew that the charges violated the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the federal Cost Accounting Standards (CAS). The allegedly improper costs consisted of overhead attributable to the operations of a Fluor Daniel division called Technology Operating Company (TOC).”
