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.

Estimated Average Burden per 

Response: 2 hours. 

Estimated Total Annual Burden
