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: contract 22DQ0091 was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC. Across its 21 recorded contracts, GRAIA CONST CORP was awarded at ≥99.5% of ABC 21 times (100.0%), versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts overall. This could be due to consistently precise bidding strategies or internal cost calculations by the contractor.
