We are a material supplier to a job in Guam, providing airplane hangar doors to the US Navy through a subcontractor, Legacy Buildings. We would like to file a Miller Act claim since we are not being paid timely by Legacy. We do not have the specifics on building owner and whether or not there is Prime Contractor on this job or if Legacy is in fact the prime contractor.

DelawareWe have a customer that I'm trying to enter in as a New Project but they will not provide the address to where the work is being completed because it is a Public Federal job. They are saying that the address is confidential. How can we preserve our lien rights if we cannot enter the address?
Washington DCWe did floorcovering in a house that sits on USA property . Unable to reach person living in that home.
OhioHow do I find out the specifics of the preliminary requirements for the project? (Federal project)
And, who, if I do need to send notices – do I send them to you?
I have a copy of the surety bond for the project, and I have been searching the contract number on it, but I am failing to come up with a bid listing for that project?
I thought all the requirements would be listed on the bid listing & it would be easy to find, but it doesn’t seem to be that easy.
This is a large project & I want to make sure that I protect myself and also that I am adhering to the law / bid requirements.
Thank you.
CaliforniaWe were working a federal job in Georgia, and the property owner stopped the job due to a dispute about another sub's installation. They kept telling us we were about to start up again and go back to work, so we kept everything set up at the jobsite and didn't send crews out to work other jobs because of how this situation was handled. Now I'm filing a Miller Act claim: does state law allow me to claim lost wages and profits I would have been making during all that time we were waiting for the job to start up again.?
GeorgiaMy payment is way past due. Subcontractor says they have not been paid yet. How do I have to wait to be paid?
DelawareWe are a flooring distributor that works with flooring retailers as sub-contractors. We have run into a situation where our customer is not willing to provide a full copy of the contract. Where this is a government project, it would fall under the Miller Act? I am making sure we do not need to acquire a copy of the contract or payment bond to protect our rights in the event of non-payment.
Rhode IslandWe are to be subcontractor to a project located on land owned by the Navy or NASA on which our customer leases. Does that affect pre lien and mechanics lien rights in CA?
