Company oversaw environmental work for district's massive construction program
From The Los Angeles Times: The firm that managed environmental work in the Los Angeles school district's $19.5-billion school construction program has been fired after an internal audit found numerous problems with its billing. The district audit alleges that Palm Desert-based Questa Environmental Consulting repeatedly overcharged the L.A. Unified School District and that district managers were inattentive, resulting in more than $2.5 million in payments that should be repaid.
