The General Contractor is saying that since they received a NTC from one of our supplier's by law they have to issue a joint check to us and that supplier for the amount the supplier has listed on the interim waiver. Is this correct for Georgia projects?
There is no law in Georgia that joint checks must be issued due to the filing of a Notice to Contractor.
No it is not required by Georgia law. However, often subcontracts permit the issuance of joint checks. Becuase they have received a NTC, it is in the GC's best interest to ensure that the supplier is paid.
