Ullico Casualty Group Establishes Bonding Program to Support Small and Minority-Owned Union Contractors

May 25, 2022

Washington, D.C. (May 25, 2022)— Ullico Casualty Group, LLC, in conjunction with partner NFP, a leading Property & Casualty broker, is offering a new program to help small, minority-owned, and woman-owned enterprises (MWBEs) obtain the bonding necessary to compete for bids as signatory contractors on union construction projects within its Construction Risk Services portfolio.

The Ullico/NFP Small Contractors Surety Bond Assistance Program provides MWBEs access to bonding they may not have had previously, due to the challenges associated with bonding new contractors. At the same time, it encourages them to bid on publicly funded projects and large commercial projects where union labor is required.

“We have made the bonding process as simple and hassle-free as possible,” said Tina Fletcher, President of Ullico Casualty Group. “By making it easier for small, minority-owned and woman-owned contractors to get bonded, we’re addressing disparities in the bidding process, and we’re helping unions prosper.”

Contractors can apply for bid bonds, license and permit bonds, performance and payment bonds, supply and maintenance bonds, and union wage and welfare bonds, with single bond limits up to $500,000 in a streamlined version of the program and limits of $20,000,000 or more in standard programs.

More information on the bonding program and other Construction Risk products such as insurance for small contractors is available at www.ullico.com/casualty
