bond issues

I have a project that is a school, that has a bond, but I also have a bond from the GC, how do I file against both of them, or at least get them on my notices?

Hello, Thank you for your question. I would send notice to everyone you can. It is not against the rules to over notice, you only get in trouble for not sending enough notice. Regardless, I would consult an attorney. There are very particular requirements of what has to be in the notice for it to be effective. I hope this helps. Should you have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out!

I agree with Karalynn - when in doubt, it's certainly safer to over-notice. Generally, GC's must provide payment and performance bonds on public projects. The performance bond protects the public entity (here, the school) from issues with the GC's performance. And, that payment bond protects subs and suppliers from going unpaid on the project. Typically, subcontractors and suppliers on public projects will make their payment bond claims against the payment bond provided by the GC. If there's some other payment bond present on the project, though - making a claim against that bond might be appropriate as well, depending on the details of the bond. And, if that claim isn't appropriate, the surety will simply deny the claim. I hope this was helpful!

I agree with both Karalynn and Matthew. If you have a direct contract with the GC, then it seems like they would have provided a bond to the owner-the school. I would request a copy from the School or School Board. If you have a claim against the GC now for nonpayment, it would be good to send notices to the GC, the surety on the bond, and to the School (or the public entity which is the owner).

I concur with both Karalynn and Matthew. On the off chance that you have an immediate agreement with the GC, it seems like they would have given a cling to the proprietor the school. I would demand a duplicate from the Everyday schedule Board. On the off chance that you have a case against the GC now for delinquency, it would be great to send notification to the GC, the guarantee on the bond, and to the School (or the public substance which is the proprietor). <a href="https://vnvideoeditorpc.com/">Vn Video Editor for PC</a>

I concur with Karalynn - if all else fails, it's positively more secure to over-take note. For the most part, GC's should give installment and execution bonds on open ventures. The exhibition bond safeguards the public element (here, the school) from issues with the GC's presentation. Furthermore, that installment bond shields subs and providers from going neglected on the venture. https://armourycrate.us.com/ https://bloxfruitscript.com/
