<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">OBJECTIVE: </span></strong><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><br />
</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The City and County of San Francisco is committed to giving local small and emerging contractors access to contracting opportunities on City construction projects. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">The Surety Bond &amp; Finance Program facilitates this objective by providing you, the contractor, with the tools needed to become competitive in public works construction. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Recognizing that bonding and working capital are the common barriers contractors face when bidding and completing contract, the program addresses these challenges. </span></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">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. </span></p>
<p><strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;">Program         Services Include:</span></strong><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;;"><br />
</span></p>
<ul>
