Public records analysis surfaced eight anomalies in CAHSR's contractor data. Three of them — three IT vendors with near-identical contract structures, near-identical overrun rates of 100–112%, and near-identical name variations in the same database — are consistent with a specific type of procurement fraud under California law. Under California Public Contract Code §20116, intentionally splitting contracts to avoid competitive bidding thresholds is a crime. These are observations from public data, not allegations of guilt. The Authority has not responded to public records requests for justification documentation.
