[RPPTL-constructionlaw] FS 337.18 Bond/Notice of Contest?

[Greg Elliott]

Have any of you learned folks come across a provision similar to that in 
255.05, that allows one to shorten the time for a claimant to commence 
their bond claim action from 1 year to 60 days, but applicable to an FS 
337.18 (FDOT) bond.  We have a sub-sub holding up payment of final 
progress and retainage by refusing to furnish a waiver base upon a claim 
for additional compensation that has already been heard and rejected.  
There is nothing similar to the 255.05 (and 713) provisions in FS 
337.18, I see nothing in the specs and nothing in section of DOT 
sections of FAC.

I recognize there are some ordinary litigation avenues to force the 
issue, but would prefer to put the ball in the claimant's court.
