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 22GL0102 was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC. Across its 33 recorded contracts, JAIME B CHING ENT was awarded at ≥99.5% of ABC 32 times (97.0%), versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts overall. It is possible that the winning bid matched the ABC due to precise cost estimation or lack of competition.
