<DIV><SPAN class=755523815-16082011><FONT face=Arial>Query: Cautious GC
wants to protect self/owner from material suppliers claims. Subs request a
deposit for materials they have to buy on a project. GC wants
release of lien from supplier. Some subs are resisting furnishing a
release of lien from supplier, either for deposit or for full payment to
suppliers. This issue comes up when suppliers, in the ordinary course
of business, do not ship material directly to a specific job site at a specific
address and do not have access to information contained on a NOC.
Ex: carpet supplier to flooring sub who ships carpet to flooring sub under
subcontractor order. I know the basic law on this issue, but from a
practical standpoint, are any of you running into this type of issue, and if so,
what resolution are you working out for your GC/client? In compliance
with WWAD?!, please email me directly, and not "reply to all".
Thanks! </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
