a given that you can’t lien public property under Chapter 713 and that the
public entity should require a payment bond but what if the public entity either
1 doesn’t require a bond for the work because it’s too small a job or 2 doesn’t
require a bond even if the project should have a bond? Can sovereign
immunity be waived? What’s the best practice to preserve subcontractor’s rights
and pursue the claim?<o:p></o:p></SPAN></P>

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></SPAN></P></DIV>
