SURETY BOND & FINANCE PROGRAM

CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO SURETY BOND & FINANCE PROGRAM

OBJECTIVE:
The City and County of San Francisco is committed to giving local small and emerging contractors access to contracting opportunities on City construction projects.

The Surety Bond & Finance Program facilitates this objective by providing you, the contractor, with the tools needed to become competitive in public works construction.

Recognizing that bonding and working capital are the common barriers contractors face when bidding and completing contract, the program addresses these challenges.

The Program benefits both contractors and the City’s economy in a positive way by reducing public works construction costs and increasing job opportunities available to local contractors.  Securing the employment of more local contractors results in a stronger local economy and keeps money cycling within the City.

Program Services Include:

• Bonding and Financial Consultation
• Bid, Performance and Payment Bond Guarantees
• Contract Financing Guarantees
• Accounting Assistance and Referrals
• Individual Counseling and Group Workshops on Contractor Related Topics
