The Surety Support Program receives funding from the City of Dallas to help qualified minority, women, disadvantaged and small business enterprises (M/W/DBEs) get bonding on citywide construction and goods and services projects.

SSP's staff and consultants provide firms interested in bidding on City of Dallas projects with assistance in:

• Bonding: Assistance in the bond package application and identification of bonding procedures and underwriters
• Construction Opportunities: Identification of prime and subcontractor opportunities.
• Insurance: Assisting client in obtaining the reasonable and competitive rates to meet insurance requirements.
• Technical Support: Including bid package review, project management and assistance in preparing financial statements for bond applications.

SSP applicants are not required to pay a fee for assistance. However, the bonding companies, fund disbursement firms, and financial institutions will charge a fee for their respective services. SSPC does not share in this fee process or charge a fee to any of the Surety Support Program participants.
