1. Take a look at Phoenix Indemnity v. Board of Public Instruction of
Alachua County, 114 So. 2d 478 (Fla. 1st DCA 1959). The Phoenix Indemnity
court held that the contractor's surety bond was liable for payment of insurance
premiums not paid by contractor despite contractor having an express contractual
obligation to make the premium payments. Not exactly your claim but close
and certainly gets at the obvious issue that your claim is not for completion of
the bricks and mortar (which every surety lawyer wants to limit the surety bond
coverage to).</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">
2. Is there an issue of who suffered the damage and the operation of the
mutual waiver of subrogation clauses doubtlessly present in the contracts at
issue? Could not tell in your summary but I believe this may be an
issue. If the GC had insurance coverage for the claim (which it sounds
like) and would simply like to have the sub's policy be primary on the loss,
then there may be an issue with actual damages suffered by GC (given the
presence of insurance). Also, if the loss falls on the carrier, depending
on the operation and breadth of the mutual waiver of subro language, there may
not be any subrogation rights arising out of the loss (especially a property
loss).</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

<DIV>
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'; FONT-SIZE: 10pt"> 3.
Is there an issue re operation of a mutual waiver of consequential damages
provision in the incorporated subcontract (either directly or by reference or
incorporation of the prime contract documents)? Not clear whether the
category of damages being claimed would fall into the "consequential damages"
bucket but it sounds like that might be the case.</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>

The AIA A 312 bond form is broad in scope and contains some favorable language
for the obligee. Without knowing all the facts, it sounds like there may
be a colorable claim if some of the above raised concerns are addressed (as well
as others which I have failed to identify).</SPAN><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Arial','sans-serif'"><o:p></o:p></SPAN></P></DIV>
