How much bid capacity is actually available?
During one of the busiest federal bidding periods of the year, a surety program should not be managed around current backlog alone.

Before submitting the next opportunity, contractors should have a clear view of available single-job and aggregate capacity, anticipated backlog, cash flow, and working capital needs.
