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 23A00233 was awarded at 100.00% of its ABC. Across its 21 recorded contracts, YPR GEN CONTRACTOR AND CONST SUPPLY INC was awarded at ≥99.5% of ABC 20 times (95.2%), versus 70.4% for flood-control contracts overall. This may be due to precise cost estimation or competitive bidding that matched the ABC exactly.
