NEW ORLEANS — New Orleans’ watchdog has found serious problems with the work of a Broomfield-based engineering company hired to oversee the rebuilding of city buildings and infrastructure damaged in Hurricane Katrina, including overbilling, billing the city for theater tickets and Christmas gifts and questionable contract arrangements.
The report by New Orleans Inspector General E.R. Quatrevaux took aim at city officials and MWH Americas Inc.
The report, first made public Thursday by The Times- Picayune, said the recovery from the catastrophic 2005 hurricane had been hurt by the flawed contract. MWH was hired in December 2007 to manage rebuilding of city infrastructure after Katrina.
