SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Estimate of burden hours for
information requested:
Respondents: Certified Disadvantaged
Business Enterprises (DBEs) that are
pursuing, in the process, or have
obtained contracts on ARRA
transportation infrastructure projects.
US DOT/OSDBU spoke to the SBA
Surety Bond Guarantee Program
personnel and a representative of the
Surety and Fidelity Association of
America (SFAA) who represents the
small and emerging businesses to obtain
the required estimates. The average
bond for a small and emerging business
or DBE is between $250,000 and
$500,000. To calculate the universe US
DOT/OSDBU can serve, an average bond
is estimated to be $350,000. The
Bonding Premium Fee charged by the
Sureties is a range of 2 to 3% of the total
bond, so using an average premium of
2.5% on a $350,000 bond the DBE
would pay $8,750. The SBA Surety
Guarantee Bond Program Principal Fee
is currently set to .729% of the contract
price, or bond amount. For a $350,000
bond, the SBA principal fee is $2,551.
The average amount of financial
assistance is $11,300.00 per DBE on one
application, submittal to include both
eligible fees. Using these estimates, the
number of DBEs that US DOT/OSDBU
can assist with $20 million is
approximately 1,770.
