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 24BI0039 was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC. Across its 36 recorded contracts, DALCON CONST was awarded at ≥99.5% of ABC 35 times (97.2%), versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts overall. This may reflect consistently precise cost estimates or a highly competitive bidding environment.
