Hi - we are sub sub contractor on an airport project (MAC project) How to file lien without prelim notice?

MinnesotaMechanics Lien

Wee are a sub sub contractor on an airport project in MN (MAC) project. We did not file a prelim notice of intent to file a lien. Now contractor is refusing to pay us for extra work they told us to do. We have change orders submitted without their signing them - they just keep pushing forward and threatening us with delays if we dont work. How do I file a lien? Or get a copy of their bond? What do I do?

If it was a public works project, you may be able to recover upon the bond which the general contractor should have filed. There are time limits to provide notice of your claim. You must provide notice of your claim within 120 days of the last date of work. You should locate the bond and follow the statutory requirements set forth at Minnesota Statutes Chapter 574. You may also have contract rights against the general. Every situation is unique, so absent further information I cannot weigh in on how you should proceed. If you desire to discuss this matter further, feel free to contact me. Rebecca Heltzer HELTZER LAW OFFICE, LLC 651-330-8508
