Contractor "Bonded Around" my lien??

CaliforniaBond ClaimsMechanics Lien

What happens if I filed a lien on a company/project AND filed on the company/project BOND that was listed on my preliminary notice - then the company "bonded around" the original bond? Now what?

Your situation might warrant talking to a construction lawyer about your next steps. If someone bonds around your lien, which is pretty normal, it means that your claim against property owner becomes a claim against the bonding company. It changes slightly how you would draft the court complaint to foreclose the lien.
