<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Garamond","serif"">This statute says that suits by and against FDOT for breach of contract must be commenced within 820 days of FDOT’s final acceptance of the project. Case law clearly says that
this is a statute of limitations. Has anyone litigated this statute, especially as a defense to a claim by FDOT against a contractor? I’m particularly interested in: (1) the interplay (if any) between this statute and s. 95.11(3)(c); and, (2) how a warranty
period extending beyond 820 days would impact the limitations analysis. There is no case law on either topic.
