On a $3.5m project, is it too high for prime contractor to require me as a sub to carry a surety bond at 100% of the project cost?

WashingtonHi - We placed a STOP Notice/Bond Claim on a project in California where we were hired by a General Contractor who was hired by California High Speed Rail Authority. California High Speed Rail just responded with a letter stating that our Stop Notice/Bond Claim is not valid because this is NOT a Public Works Job though we were required to pay California Prevailing Wages Rates. However, the GC who hired us provided us a Contract without Owner Information. What can we do?
CaliforniaHow do I find the bond information for a contractor that was supposedly licensed/bonded, but now is ghosting me?
South DakotaWe are a material supplier, and that amount is for a very large order that I just preliened. It is for a commercial job, not any sort of govt. project.
CaliforniaI am wondering if you can help me? Basically, I paid him up front for some work on a property, he has only done a little of it, did a poor job at that and I am selling it and want the remainder of my money back that was not earned or spent on the property and the contractor misappropriated the funds as he states he no longer has the money. The amount is $58,000+
MontanaI bought a house and had a CL100 performed in Feb. The company that preformed the CL100 only mentioned one small area of wood rot & no mold. In March I had my contractor go under the house as I had some suspicion about a few week spots in the floor. He then notified me that there was a tremendous amount of wood rot, roughly 75% of seal plates and joists. I contacted the CL100 company and he said tough luck it’s past 90 days. What can I do?
South CarolinaThe property owner hasn't given the final payment. I've given notice of intent to move forward with collection options. I intended to file the lien on Tuesday but received notice of the property owner making a claim against my bond. Do I need to wait to file the bond?
CaliforniaI have contractor never did the job and I paid in full how can I claim through the bond
TexasI'm a Sub hire by a sub who was hired by a GC . Can I file a lien since I have a contract with the Sub and not the GC? I was promised payment on portion of our contract, but since we are almost finished with the jobsite. He wants to take over the job but we are almost done with the erection.
Texas1. LL- makes agreement to pay tenant 300k+ tenant allowance upon completion and close out including all final unconditionals from contractors and subs.
2. Tenant (my client) agrees and has paid me (GC) out %100 on the project
3. All suppliers and subs have been paid except one issue subcontractor.
This subcontractor was in breach of contract and I had the kitchen equipemnt coming at the end of a week. He didn't have man power to provide to us. We issued him warnings in writing stating if he cannot provide any manpower to the job for the week I would hire another contractor to hang the hoods. This is all in our signed contract with him as well. He responded and acknowledged that simply stating "sorry, I won't have anyone out next week because I'm too busy". We hire another guy to hang the hoods. The following week our original hvac returned with men and completed the rest of the project. We backcharged him the 3600 spent to complete that portion with all the backup and proof of cost and payment. He pitched a fit about it and I agree to pay him for half which is more than generous anyways since he impacted our schedule as well. Now, he's been paid out but will not provide a final unconditional though I've hassled his office for it. More like a grudge match.
This project has been done for 112 days so he is out of his lien rights but the LL will NOT accept anything short of a final unconditional from him to release the tenant allowance to my client who is now getting all frustrated with me.
Can I file a payment bond somehow for the 1800 to give the LL showing that even if he tried to lien it would be covered? Can I file something with the county or contractors board stating he is past his lien rights and cannot file. Has to be something solid to get the LL satisfied to release the tenant allowance.
CaliforniaHi, We are a Subcontractor to a Prime Contractor that has filed for bankruptcy. We performed work for the Prime Contractor on a State Department project that was bonded. How do we go about filing a claim against the bond? Thanks,
