<p class=MsoNormal>Any help with the following would be very appreciated:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Subcontractor signs progress payment release of lien rights in
the form of Section 713.20(4) (after supplying all materials and performing all
work). It’s a government project, there are no lien rights.
Same Subcontractor has a bond claim for amounts unpaid (there is both a Section
255.05 bond and a subcontractor common law bond potentially applicable). Is
the progress payment release of lien enforceable against Subcontractor to
prevent Subcontractor from getting paid the unpaid subcontract amounts? <o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Thank you very much for your time, and I truly appreciate
any help! <o:p></o:p></p>
