NEW BERN, N.C. — A former engineering company executive has been convicted of fraud and conspiracy related to bid-rigging for hundreds of North Carolina Department of Transportation projects.
A U.S. Justice Department news release and court documents say a jury this week found Brent Brewbaker guilty of six counts.
He faces sentencing in April.
Prosecutors say a jury on Tuesday determined Brewbaker participated in conspiracies to rig bids and submit false non-collusion certifications involving 300 state-funded aluminum structure projects between 2009 and 2018.
The government says his former company — Contech Engineered Solutions — already pleaded guilty to charges and agreed to pay millions in fines and restitutions.
