Can we ?

CaliforniaLien Waivers

We are nearing the end of a Public works project. We still have in our system a July billing from our subcontract due to them not providing paperwork. We received a prelim from one of their suppliers dated through 09/30. Can I pay from the subcontractors payment with a joint check from the July payout?

Hello,   I am not sure what you mean a "prelim from one of their suppliers dated through 09/30."   Do you mean a Conditional Waiver and Release Upon Progress Payment?   Preliminary notices do not have "through dates."  Are you withholding sufficient retention from the subcontractor to cover all of the potential  supplier claims?   Sounds like you may want to discuss your situation with an experienced construction lawyer to make sure you close this project out safely.
