<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>To
be precise (copying and pasting from an old brief), The purpose of the statute
requiring a contractor’s bond on public works contracts is to protect laborers
and materialmen on projects on which they can acquire no lien. State of
Florida f/b/o Westinghouse Electric Corp. v. Clutter Construction Corp., 132
So.2d 21 (Fla. 3d DCA 1961). “. . . As held in Fulghum v.
State, 92 Fla. 662, 109 So. 644, it was the broad legislative intent to afford
those supplying labor and materials on public works projects a means of
protection in lieu of the lien afforded to them on private work as provided by
other statutes.” Id. at 22, citing Fulghum v. State, 92 Fla. 662, 109 So.
644 (1926) . F lorida Statutes §255.05 (2005) “is remedial in nature and
therefor, entitled to a liberal construction, within reason, to effect its
intended purpose. </span><br>
<br>
Ostensibly (and with limitations) a "claimant" could acquire a lien
against the leasehold interest of the contracting "tenant" (and no
more). In my view the protection of such a lien is only
illusory. What is the likelihood that a public sale after
foreclosure will result in proceeds to the claimant. . . Then what does
the claimant do with his brand new "leasehold interest". Pay
rent if the landlord will have him.<br>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:.5in'><span style='color:#1F497D'>Note the
first sentence of 255.05(1)(a); the recent amendments creating existing
language requires private party to obtain bond(s) for work that private party
contracts for as improvement to public property or a Public Work . To
understand better the meaning of the amendment, do research on use of “public
work”; that wording is not limited to “ public property” or there would be no
disjunctive “or”. A very early case used “public work” as private
property of a railroad that would serve the public; that case did not deal with
lien or bond, but it illustrates how general “public work” means in current
version of statute. A more interesting issue is defining the remedy
for non-compliance against the public body or the private party that failed to
obtain bonds. In some past cases the commissioners or council members were
liable to person or entity that by law had right to rely upon existence of the
required bonds. Who was advising the public body; the private party. Does the
license or lease have an indemnity clause in favor of public entity? Have
fun.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Steve Pickert and I had such a case many
years ago, wherein the City of Coral Springs entered into a
renewable "Concession Agreement" (i.e., a lease) for a private
party to build an ice-skating rink on City property. Under the Concession
Agreement, the concessionaire/lessee actually owned the improvements
subject to the City's reversionary interest at the conclusion of
the lease. The concessionaire/lessee didn't pay the contractor and,
in fact, sold its interest during construction. The contractor, our
client, recorded a lien against the property, and both the concessionaire/lessee
and the purchaser said the property was not lienable. We moved for and
were granted summary judgment in our favor on that issue. Attached is the
motion/brief, which is a matter of public record and may be helpful.
Presumably much of the law has changed/evolved over the past 14 or so years.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='color:#1F497D'>The
answer is in the definitions in 713.01 (and if you are referring to 8:3 of my
book, it is set out there). The statutory reason that you can’t lien
publicly owned property is because a governmental owner is not within the
definition of owner in 713.01. The definition of real property also
excludes governmentally owned property. This is intended to keep
governmentally owned property out of the lien law because a government must
usually go through an election to subject public owned property to liens, e.g.,
financing bond issues. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-left:1.0in'><span style='color:#1F497D'>An
owner is also defined as one having an interest in the property and who enters
into a contract for the improvement of the real property. Thus there is
no reason that you cannot have a lien on a private leasehold interest that sits
on public property. You want to be careful when you prepare the lien to
only seek it against the leasehold. Also a lien on a leasehold is
typically only as valuable as the tenant is collectable. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
