Bid-Ceiling Hugging

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: Cebu 6th District Engineering Office awarded 50 of 53 recorded flood-control contracts (94.3%) at 99.5% or more of their Approved Budget for the Contract, versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts nationwide (23.9 percentage points higher; binomial p = 1.7e-05), across 26 contractors. Source: DPWH / Sumbong sa Pangulo contract records; each contract is listed below. This pattern may result from consistently competitive bidding or cost estimates that closely match market prices.
