Revised 06/20/95
Document Title: Notice of Right to Lien and Request
for Copy of Public Bond.
Scope: State of Massachusetts, Public Work.
Time constraints: With one exception, none. Send
anytime after the start of furnishing, but within 65 days (the
time for filing your lien claim) of the date of your last furnishing.
However, you may have right to a Public Improvement lien on
unpaid funds or a claim on the project bond. Since that bond
can be liened it is handy to know the facts of the bond.
If you do not have a copy of the surety bond already,
we strongly urge you to send this form. By law, the State Comptroller
must provide a copy of the bond. If you do have the information,
you are ready to file your public lien claim.
Important: One exception to the Preliminary Notice
requirements for public works is the case of specially fabricated
materials not incorporated into the project. In this case, the
Prime Contractor must be given notice of the placement and amount
of the order with 20 days after the claimant receives final
written approval of such materials. If this is the case, get
your notice out as soon as possible. Use the 'Service Description'
option of the second page of the entry screen to describe your
special fabrication.
Information requirements: The information required by program.
Form types: Notice of Right to Lien and Request
for Copy of Public Bond, Exhibits A-D (if needed) and Owner
Letter (if used).
Procedures: Enter the program data, including
Additional Legal Parties or Releases for Other Companies. Copies
of all of the forms must be sent to all public entities involved.
Important: Obtaining the public bond information, and filing
against that bond, may represent your only chance of recovery
if all public funds have been disbursed. We strongly urge you
to obtain this information if at all possible.
