<DIV align=left dir=ltr><SPAN class=767135815-16082011><FONT color=#0000ff face=Arial size=2>If the material delivery is job specific, even if not shipped
directly to the job site, you need a release from the supplier. I would
hold up future payments to the sub until releases have been
provided. I've had situations before where contractors refused
to provide releases and I got them by drafting a dec action complaint (the
contract didn't require releases) saying 713.06's proper payment provisions
contemplate providing releases to the owner and the uncertainty about our
entitlement to demand releases supported a dec action. This has been a
fairly successful tactic, as everyone wants to avoid a lawsuit, especially where
the contractor can offer no legitimate explanation to the court about why
releases aren't being provided.</FONT></SPAN></DIV><BR>

Lien Law Query<BR></FONT><BR></DIV>
<DIV></DIV>
<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>
