Additionally, Exiger monitored the funding of the contractors and their work to ensure that funds were not obtained from prohibited sources.
Exiger also monitored a specialty contractor, with combined project values exceeding $100 million, on behalf the PANYNJ OIG and the New York State Department of Transportation. The scope of monitorship included contractual and prevailing wage compliance as well as MWBE compliance.

The contractor has since barred from performing work on federal projects.
