Reflections From Our Contractor Community 

“The Contractor Development and Bonding Program (CDABP) helped us bid on and win jobs that we previously did not have the capacity to bond for.  It levels the playing field. It is a diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) program that adds tremendous value to multiple stakeholders. I am pleased that the County has embarked on its program. It and other similar contracting assistance programs will collectively benefit many underrepresented businesses, the taxpayers, and the Los Angeles region.”
