Framingham Construction Company To Pay Nearly $1 Million For Subcontractor’s Failure To Pay Prevailing Wages

After years of talking to workers and encouraging enforcement in the industry, the Attorney General in Massachusetts issued a major judgement against a Framingham contractor this week.

Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell has announced the issuance of a judgment in the Commonwealth’s litigation against Framingham-based BPI Construction Management, Inc. for its subcontractor’s failure to pay prevailing wages to employees working on two public construction projects. As part of the judgment, the company will pay $926,898.06 to the Commonwealth for violating the Massachusetts False Claims Act in connection with prevailing wage theft.

“Companies that receive public funds for projects must ensure that all workers receive the pay and benefits they are entitled to,” said AG Campbell. “I am grateful for the team’s continued efforts to safeguard the Commonwealth’s public resources while protecting our workers from exploitation.”
