Awards Very Close to the Budget Ceiling

Contract cost is at or above 99.5% of ABC from Sumbong.

This is a statistical anomaly or indicator worth examining — not proof of wrongdoing, fraud, or corruption against any person.

Indicator: Southern Leyte 1st District Engineering Office awarded 48 of 50 recorded flood-control contracts (96.0%) at 99.5% or more of their Approved Budget for the Contract, versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts nationwide (25.6 percentage points higher; binomial p = 5.7e-06), across 24 contractors. Source: DPWH / Sumbong sa Pangulo contract records; each contract is listed below. This could be due to highly competitive bidding or very precise cost estimates.
