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

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

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

4. 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
