Tutor-Saliba To Pay $19 million To Settle Airport Fraud Cases
Tutor-Saliba Corp. has agreed to pay $19 million to the city and county of San Francisco to settle a 2002 lawsuit that accused the contractor of fraud in connection with minority bidding requirements and inflated change orders.
Sylmar, Calif.-based Tutor-Saliba was the general contractor for seven projects totaling $620 million at San Francisco International Airport, starting in 1996. Work, which included a new terminal and two parking garages, was closed out in 2001 without claims.
