A settlement has been reached in a whistleblower class action lawsuit brought against Sanborn Map Company Inc who is accused of submitting false claims in connection with U. S. Army Corps of Engineers contracts.
The whistleblower's share of the government's recovery has not been determined.
Filed in May of 2011, the complaint charges Sanborn Map Company Inc with using unapproved foreign subcontractors on three projects, which violated contractual obligations and caused delays on these projects. Additionally the government alleged that Sanborn used unapproved domestic subcontractors when Sanborn was required to complete all map work in-house and charged unrelated work to the government contracts.
