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 22LB0290 was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC. Across its 29 recorded contracts, GENESIS88 CONST INC was awarded at ≥99.5% of ABC 29 times (100.0%), versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts overall. Contractors may consistently bid near the ABC to maximize their chances of winning while staying within legal limits.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
