The Manhattan District Attorney's office has indicted two top executives of waste cleanup firm WRS Environmental Services Inc., Yaphank, N.Y., in a bribe and bid-rigging scheme involving award of $10 million in Metro-North Railroad waste transportation, asbestos removal, remediation and construction contracts, DA Cyrus Vance said Jan. 22.

在纽约州最高法院的收费有多项欺诈行为,是公司所有者和首席执行官Michael Rodgers和Thomas Willis,其业务发展总监以及詹姆斯·伯兰杰罗,被确定为前地铁北合同经理。根据DA的说法,以现金支付的形式与Berlangero的回扣和免费服务总额约为70.000美元。

As alleged in the indictment, "this Metro-North contract manager engaged in an extensive bid-rigging scheme," said Vance. "Armed with confidential information like competitors’ price proposals and evaluations, WRS Environmental Services was able to win contracts valued at more than $10 million, all thanks to their inside man."

起诉书是由曼哈顿D.A.球拍局和大都市运输管理局督察委员会的联合调查的结果。

根据DA的办公室,Berlangero取消了2015年RFP与废物运输和出售相关的RFP,当他了解到WRS不是首选的申请人,然后重新发售。

The Metro North manager "then provided WRS executives score sheets and evaluations completed by the agency's selection committee" so WRS could tailor an oral presentation" and later "provided the favored proposer’s price proposal so WRS could undercut their price," says the DA, resulting in a contract award of up to $4 million, with the firm actually receiving more than $2.7 million between November 2015 and October 2019.

Berlangero也“转向”飓风桑迪损伤修复合同,即使该公司未初始批准该工作,“为其提供了接受的竞争对手的价格”,也不会批准。这使得WRS提交较低的投标和赢得机构授权,以便在合同下获得超过100万美元的奖励。

DA还表示,在Berlangero提供IT机密竞争对手的价格信息之后,WRS在Metro North Refiation合同中获得了超过400,009美元。

该公司在纽约市和爱迪生提供办事处,不能达成评论。WRS在其网站上表示,截至2019年底已完成1000个环境项目。新利18备用网址
