<font size="-1"><font face="Arial">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. </font></font><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: 0.5in"><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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

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: 1in"><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: 1in"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"><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>
