Description

This form may be completed and used by a subcontractor or supplier who has not been fully paid on a project and is seeking payment from the surety (insurer) under the terms of a payment bond. In construction, a payment bond is a bond on the general contractor to ensure payment to subcontractors and suppliers. A New Mexico Bond Claim Notice is a legal document filed by subcontractors, suppliers, or laborers on construction projects to protect their rights to payment. This notice is an essential step for those seeking to assert a claim against a payment bond that has been put in place for a specific construction project. In New Mexico, there are primarily two types of Bond Claim Notices that can be filed — the Preliminary Notice and the Final Notice. The Preliminary Notice is typically submitted at the start of the project and serves as a notification to both the general contractor and the bonding company that the claimant is providing labor or materials for the project. It is crucial as it establishes the claimant's right to file a Bond Claim Notice later on, decreasing the risk of their claim being invalidated. The Final Notice, on the other hand, is filed towards the end of the project. It essentially notifies the general contractor and the bonding company that the claimant has not been paid for the labor or materials they provided. The Final Notice is the claimant's last opportunity to secure their right to make a formal claim against the payment bond. When filing a New Mexico Bond Claim Notice, it is vital to include all relevant information accurately. This includes the claimant's name, address, the name of the construction project, the general contractor's name, and bonding company information. Additionally, the notice should clearly state the amount being claimed, the dates when the labor or materials were provided, and a description of the work performed or the materials furnished. Filing a New Mexico Bond Claim Notice is an important step to protect the rights of subcontractors, suppliers, and laborers in the construction industry. This legal document ensures that they can seek compensation for their work and materials provided in the event of non-payment. By adhering to the specific requirements and deadlines for filing the Preliminary and Final Notices, claimants can increase their chances of successfully recovering the amounts owed to them.
