Indicator C2 — Bid-Ceiling Hugging

AI-verified / Na-verify ng AI Data as of October 21, 2026

Bid-Ceiling Hugging

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 24GK0186 was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC. Across its 115 recorded contracts, LEGACY CONST CORP FORMERLY: LEGACY CONST was awarded at ≥99.5% of ABC 100 times (87.0%), versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts overall. This could be due to highly competitive bidding or precise cost estimation.

How this was checked

publish · confidence 0.98

Model: gpt-4.1

Prompt: v4

Checked: October 22, 2026

The contract was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC, which is highly unusual and meets the rule's threshold. The contractor has a much higher rate of near-ABC awards than the baseline, and all relevant figures and record links are present. Innocent explanations are possible (e.g., highly competitive bidding or precise cost estimation), but the pattern is genuinely unusual and worth public attention.
