The office of State Inspector General initiated this review predicated upon two complaints and several public media reports alleging basic unfairness in SC DOT's prequalification of and award of contracts to LRC. The complainants asserted LRC was just a shell company for BPI, which had been recently debarred from doing business with the state. The review was scoped into two objectives: Examine LRC's approved prequalification to contract with the SC DOT to determine if it violated the state's debarment regulations, to include its ownership and management, being an "affiliated party" with BPI, which would preclude LRC from doing business with SC DOT; and Assess the state's debarment regulation for opportunity for improvement.
