<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>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! </span><o:p></o:p></p>
