Construction Company Agrees to Pay More Than $1 Million To Settle Claims It Falsified Test Results

A Brainerd area construction and paving company has agreed to pay more than 1 million dollars following allegations it violated the False Claims Act. 

According to acting U.S. Attorney Lisa D. Kirkpatrick, Anderson Brothers Construction Company L-L-C will pay $1,295,610 to resolve the claim that they routinely and knowingly falsified test results to make paving material appear to be higher quality than it actually was. Authorities say Anderson Brothers falsified results to the government in seeking payments for road paving in Minnesota from 2017 through 2022. 

Of the $1,295,610 civil settlement, the United States will receive $660,761 and the State of Minnesota will receive $634,849.
