Welcome
The State Legislature passed Florida Statute, 339.0805, which has allowed for the existence of the Construction Management Development Program and Bond Guarantee Program (CMDP-BGP). This program includes training and financial assistance in the form of bond guarantees.
This program was designed so that the intent and purpose of the law is met. The primary function is to improve the capability of Small and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (S/DBEs) and help them to be become bonded.
The CMDP-BGP is funded by the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) and is administered the Florida A&M University Small Business Development Center (FAMU SBDC).
Our Vision
The vision of the Construction Management Development Program and Bond Guarantee Program is to assure Small and Disadvantaged Business Enterprises owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, maximum opportunity to participate, bid and perform successfully statewide on Florida Department of Transportation contracts.
Our Mission
The mission of the Construction Management Development Program and Bond Guarantee Program is to meaningfully assist economically Disadvantaged Business Enterprises to (1) develop construction and business management skills, (2) increase their ability to be bonded and to (3) remedy the effects of past economic disparity.
With the significant downturn in the economy and resulting slowdown in the commercial construction market, many contractors are strongly considering getting involved in federal construction or expanding the portion of their business dedicated to federal contracting.
Are you a small disadvantaged business that can provide products or services to the transportation industry? If so, you should seriously be looking into the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (DBE) to give you an edge over the competition. This federal program is operated under the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) in an effort to increase the participation of socially and economically disadvantaged small businesses in state and local transportation projects.
