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 22GL0060 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 be due to highly competitive bidding or precise cost estimation.
