Earlier this year, a firm tied to President Donald Trump secured a no-bid contract to install a water purification system at the Reflecting Pool next to the Lincoln Memorial. Now, the deal is raising questions after algae overtook the basin just days after a multi-million-dollar refurbishment was completed, according to a new report.
The National Park Service in April sidestepped the usual competitive bidding process, awarding a $1.7 million cleaning contract to Ohio-based Greenwater Services, which had only ever been given one other federal contract.
