"They were able to put some money in escrow for us and give us a collateral, so we got the $4 million payment performance bond," Percell said. "At the time, I talked to the general contractor and they're like, 'No one else does this. No one else was able to do what you guys did.'... We only did it with the assistance of this program for sure, which is why we're trying to encourage more contractors to participate."
