For many diverse vendors, it can be difficult to become prime contractors because they are unable to access affordable capital and qualify for bonding. DASNY Capital Management Plan helps New York’s MWBE and SDVOB contractors become prime contractors on DASNY construction contracts.  

The DASNY Capital Management Plan (CMP) helps MWBE/SDVOB contractors grow their businesses and succeed at both bidding and execution. The program:  

  • Offers access to construction, plumbing and electrical suppliers who will offer competitive terms and pricing to participants who are low bidders on DASNY projects. 
  • Provides contractors access to capital needed to qualify for surety bonding required for all projects over $100,000.
  • Offers back office supports, including financial management and funds control, to ensure timely payments on all project-related expenses.
  • Delivers training to help contractors build capacity to manage larger projects.  

This unique program is supported with an initial investment of $10 million by the non-profit Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) NYC.  

  • This funding creates a revolving loan fund for MWBE/SDVOB contractors to be able to secure surety bonding to bid on DASNY projects.
  • The program is administered in partnership with The Cayemitte Group, a full-service insurance and surety bond brokerage.
