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: Cebu 1st District Engineering Office awarded 38 of 40 recorded flood-control contracts (95.0%) at 99.5% or more of their Approved Budget for the Contract, versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts nationwide (24.6 percentage points higher; binomial p = 1.2e-04), across 15 contractors. Source: DPWH / Sumbong sa Pangulo contract records; each contract is listed below. This may be due to consistently competitive bidding or standard pricing practices in the district.
Only contractors and government agencies named in public procurement records are shown. Private individuals are not named.
