I am interested in filing a bond claim in the State of Louisiana. We are a first-tier subcontractor and the project is near completion. I would like to use Zlien, but believe I may need to hire an attorney. I am so confused on when, how and to whom a bond claim is filed specifically:
1. We finally found out a payment bond was recorded in the Parish and called the Surety Company to get a copy. We are concerned about timelines provided in the bond of when a claim can be made (i.e. 60 days after furnishing work or 30 days after substantial completion, etc). They did not provide a copy of the bond. What are the deadlines to file a claim on a payment bond in the State of Louisiana and do they have precedence over bond language?
2. We never filed preliminary-notices. Do I need to send a notice of intent for a bond claim prior to filing (similar to a lien)?
3. Do bond claims need to be recorded and notarized in the State of Louisiana?
Thanks in advance in addressing any issues above.
LouisianaJob is on a military base so definitely Federal. Does Federal PPA auto-apply? Also, what if state law says that interpretation of agreement according to laws of another jurisdiction is unenforceable as against public policy.
LouisianaWe want to send the Notice of Lease in Louisiana, as we are Equipment Lessors. However, i don't think we get a copy of the lease, and we won't send out an invoice with all of the information til roughly a month after. Is the lease agreement the same as our rental agreement?
