G. C. Young Fire Pump Controller DB 2

Only one company submitted a bid. Reduced competition may indicate barriers to entry, poor solicitation visibility, or pre-determined outcomes.

Awarded 2021-08-09 — 52 days before fiscal year end (Sep 30). End-of-year awards often have compressed timelines and reduced oversight.

Post-award modifications total 200% of the original award. Change orders exceeding 50% suggest scope creep, poor initial estimates, or intentional low-bidding.

Contract duration is 2.7 standard deviations above the average for similar contracts. Unusually long or short durations may indicate scope issues.

First modification occurred shortly after award — before significant work could have been performed. Early scope changes may indicate incomplete requirements.
