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 23F00011 was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC. Across its 67 recorded contracts, SUNWEST INC FORMERLY: SUNWEST CONST & DEVELOPMENT CORP was awarded at ≥99.5% of ABC 61 times (91.0%), versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts overall. This may be due to precise cost estimation or a single qualified bidder submitting a bid at the ABC.
