The JV bid for the role of construction manager at-risk on the Polar Park project in early 2019. It stated to maximize participation of women and minority-owned businesses and then, once selected to manage the project, misrepresented the status of their participation to the Worcester Redevelopment Authority (WRA) until the project was substantially complete.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the bid, it committed to using \u201cbest efforts\u201d to achieve the project\u2019s 20 percent combined participation goal and further stated it would implement a \u201crobust action plan\u201d to ensure these goals were met. Based on the representations in the bid, the WRA awarded the contract. However, once the project was underway, the JV did little to encourage participation on the project and did not track where the project\u2019s spending stood with respect to the 20 percent goal.<\/p>\n<p>Additionally, the contract required the JV to provide monthly updates to the WRA on the status of the spending on the project, however, instead of reporting the real-time status as the project progressed, the JV reported projected values\u2014leading WRA to believe it was achieving 17-18 percent of the participation goal when, in fact, only 11-12 percent of the work was allocated to women and minority-owned businesses.<\/p>\n<p>Under the terms of the settlement, the JV will pay $1.9 million to the state. The Attorney General\u2019s office will return $500,000 to the City of Worcester as restitution, and the city has agreed to use the proceeds of the settlement to promote women and minority-owned businesses\u2019 participation in government contracting. The companies in the JV will each monitor for a three-year period to ensure compliance with all contract requirements and state laws pertaining to the participation on public construction projects.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cConstruction companies in Massachusetts must live up to their promises to create opportunities for women and minority-owned businesses on public projects,\u201d says Maura Healey, Governor of Massachusetts, who served as Massachusetts Attorney General until recently. \u201cIf a company says that the inclusion of diverse businesses is a priority in an effort to win a public contract, we are going to ensure that they are held accountable for those representations.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The companies, part of the joint venture
