#1 "Good track record for 17 years?" Would that be with a fake Social Security Card, and paying no taxes ?

Base Commander should order the termination of the contract of the firm he works for and direct the Travis JAG to investigate the Contracting Officer Representative (COR). If he's (the worker) a DoD civilian employee, dig deeper and investigate the Civilian Personnel Office on Travis. Might want to consider relieving the base commander, if any of these action are not already taking place.

Oh, SS taxes were likely paid and the SSN was likely legit. Somebody else will get the money.

That is one nice feature of the whole deal. Imagining these people without any benefits when they reach retirement age is even better.

#7 And as an aside, the Contracting Officer Representative has the job of ensuring that the terms of the contract are met. The COR doesn't write the contract. Neither does the COR do the background checks or directly question the workers' qualifications. Or issue them base access.

It's more likely that the contractor sub-contracted the work. That's not illegal, unless the contract stipulated otherwise. But it will give the contractor a black eye. And likely the base as well.

#8 The Davis–Bacon Act of 1931 is a United States federal law that establishes the requirement for paying the local prevailing wages on public works projects for laborers and mechanics.

* prevailing wages = union wages in the location

The contractor had to bid labor costs estimates in accordance with the Act. Someone is pocketing the difference.
