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 24LD0081 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 may occur if the winning bid exactly matched the ABC, possibly due to precise cost estimation or lack of competition.
