List the facts for a Miller Act notice to the bonded contractor
Key facts
- Human involvement
- RedLawyer-led
- How AI is used
- List the last date of labor or supply printed in the file, the amount claimed, the name of the party to whom the labor or material was supplied, and whether the claimant's contract is with the bonded contractor or with a subcontractor. Write no sentence of the notice.
- What the lawyer must review
- 40 U.S.C. § 3133(b)(1) lets a person who furnished labor or material on a bonded federal contract, and who has not been paid in full within 90 days after the last of that labor or material, sue on the payment bond. A person who contracts with a subcontractor, and not with the contractor who furnished the bond, must first give that contractor written notice within 90 days from the last of the labor or material. The notice must state the amount with substantial accuracy and the name of the party to whom the material was supplied or for whom the labor was done. It is served by a means that provides written, third-party verification of delivery, or as the United States marshal may serve summons. The action is in the name of the United States for the use of the claimant, in the district where the contract was to be performed, and no later than one year after the claimant's last labor or material. The Government is not liable for the costs of the action. You decide which path applies and you write any notice.
