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 22LB0025 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. It is possible that the contractor consistently bids at the maximum allowed amount to maximize revenue while staying within legal limits.
