We spend so much time talking about Mechanic Liens here at the Construction Lien Blog we sometimes overlook the equivalent tool available to contractors and suppliers on federal projects – claims under the Miller Act. Of course, we have (see here). And of course, Zlien is experienced in preparing and filing Miller Act Claims for contractors and suppliers across the country.
The good news about the Miller Act’s requirements is that they are the same across the country. As such, contractors on federal projects need only be familiar with one set of rules. The bad news, however, is that the requirements are often misstated.
To make things easy, we created this chart.
