BELLINGHAM — An engineering firm that once had a big presence in Bellingham has reached a settlement with the federal government about over-billing contracts.
Ch2M Hill will pay $6.4 million to the U.S. Department of Justice to resolve allegations that it over-billed the U.S. Air Force for environmental consulting work that was done by unqualified staff. That’s according to a news release from the Department of Justice.
The alleged over-billing took place between 2003 and 2014.
The engineering firm, which is headquartered in Englewood, Colo., and has offices in Bellevue, is not admitting any wrongdoing with the settlement.
