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 22FG0029 was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC. Across its 23 recorded contracts, HGG BUILDERS & SUPPLY was awarded at ≥99.5% of ABC 22 times (95.7%), versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts overall. This may result from competitive bidding where the lowest bid matches the ABC exactly.
