Subcontractor's Bid Document to GC has "Very Specific Language" that acceptance or awarding of the Bid requires a signed contract between both parties (GC & Sub as named in Bid Document) . Bid is selected and awarded by e-mail by the GC with no acceptance by Subcontractor and Agreement cannot be reached on contract language and/or other contract requirements with "no signed contract existing between GC and Subcontractor". The Project starts with other subcontractors doing their contracted work - am I liable for the work that I bid on with damages to General Contractor because the GC most likely cannot meet their construction schedule with Owner because the GC has to find another subcontractor to do the work that I bid on? ...Read More

We are the CG on 2 public school projects in Ohio. The projects that are already recently started, but I cannot locate Notices of Commencement on the respective county recorders' websites. Should I still file a NOF immediately or wait to see if the produce an NOC? Since we are the GC should we file the NOC in 10 days if the NOC does not appear to be filed? Or would we need to be specifically asked by the school to be an Owner Designee? In that case should we also file an NOF or just NOC? Also do I need to obtain bond information and how? We are bonded, but I'm not sure, should the need arise, how we would make a claim against the public bond without the info. Thanks!...Read More

A friend took it Upon himself to start digging a hole along the back of my wall on a project I had been talking about doing . And what was the easiest way. As stated I came home to him digging. Said he was bored and decided to dig. He came over almost everyday whether I was home or not . Sometimes he'd work an hour sometimes not at all and just hang out. No talk of a price or contract was ever signed. But gave him money almost every day, 6 weeks later he says I'm done how do you want to take care of this.. on top of him doing it wrong and has to be redone. I got a letter that says intent to file lien for 800 dollars.. where do I stand .. I'm in Ohio ...Read More
