If you are a prime contractor and your subcontract has a warranty retainage provision for subs with no performance bonds, can you legally hold the warranty retinage (say 10%) from the warranty period on a Federal contract, even if you don’t report the witholdings to the Governmentwe have a lot of Federal contracts and there has always been this cloud around Federal prompt pay and maintaining subcontractor warranty retainage for the warranty period for non-bonded subs.
