Air Force suspends fee payments to landlord Balfour Beatty following Reuters report
NEW YORK - The U.S. Air Force has suspended paying incentive fees at all 21 military housing bases operated by landlord Balfour Beatty Communities following a Reuters-CBS News report that the company falsified maintenance records at an Oklahoma base to help it qualify for millions of dollars in bonuses.
“The Air Force has communicated the gravity of the situation to BBC leadership,” Henderson said in the statement. “The allegations in relation to work orders at Tinker Air Force Base and Mountain Home Air Force Base are being taken seriously and are in the process of being investigated,” Balfour Beatty said in a statement to Reuters.
A former Balfour manager told Reuters the company at times doctored records to make it appear maintenance issues were repaired quickly. Even as Air Force personnel on site questioned the maintenance logs, the Air Force continued to pay the company incentive fees. The Navy and Marine Corps will examine the maintenance work order systems of all of their private landlords in coming weeks, a Navy spokesperson said. “Should this examination or other reports indicate matters of concern, we will take appropriate and timely action.”
