The OIG investigated allegations that Foster Construction of South Florida, Inc., a National Park Service (NPS) prime contractor, did not fully compensate its subcontractor for construction services on two projects at the Virgin Islands National Park.We found that Adrian Foster, the owner of Foster Construction, submitted false payment applications to the NPS on two construction contracts when she certified that Foster Construction had paid the subcontractor all monies due for work completed under the contracts when it had not.Foster pleaded guilty in the U.S. District Court of the Virgin Islands for violating 18 U.S.C. § 1001, “False Statements,” and was subsequently sentenced to 22 months in prison followed by 3 years of supervised release, and was ordered to pay restitution totaling $135,507. Foster and Foster Construction were also debarred from participation in Federal procurement and nonprocurement programs for approximately 3 years.This is a summary of a report we issued to the NPS Deputy Director Exercising the Authority of Director.
