[CLC-Discussion] Contractor's Subcontracting to Itself to Defeat Lien/Bond Claims

[Bryan L. Capps]

All:

                I could swear that someone recently raised a question/initiated a discussion regarding whether a contractor could (be permitted to) essentially subcontract to itself (e.g., an affiliate) for the purpose or with the effect of thereby lowering all other ("true") subcontractors, materialmen, etc. one level in the chain of contracts, such that lien/bond claims of the lowest tiers are defeated under the limitations of applicable lien/bond statutes.  If I'm not dreaming, could someone please give me the date(s) or subject lines of that committee thread?  Thanks.
