New York contractors Upstate Construction Services, LLC and Structural Associates, Inc. will pay more than $1 million to resolve allegations that they formed an undisclosed joint venture in order to qualify for and obtain bonding and contracts set aside for small businesses located in HUBZones. Although Upstate qualified as a HUBZone entity, Structural did not, and had Structural’s share of Upstate’s profits been disclosed, Upstate would not have been awarded the millions of dollars in contracts at issue.
