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. The Nevada Bond Claim Notice is a legal document used to formally notify parties involved in a construction project that a claim is being made against the bond that has been issued for the project. It is a crucial step for subcontractors and suppliers to protect their rights and seek payment for their services or materials if they haven't been compensated appropriately by the general contractor or other higher-tier subcontractors. This written notice outlines the claimant's intent to assert their rights under the Nevada Revised Statutes (NRS) related to bond claims. It ensures that the claimant preserves their right to file a lawsuit or initiate arbitration proceedings against the bond in case the payment dispute remains unresolved. There are two types of Nevada Bond Claim Notices depending on the claimant's role in the project: 1. Claim by first-tier subcontractor or supplier: This notice is applicable when a subcontractor or supplier directly contracted with the general contractor. These claimants have a direct relationship with the party that obtained the bond, and thus, they are required to serve their Nevada Bond Claim Notice to both the general contractor and the surety company that issued the bond. 2. Claim by second-tier or lower-tier subcontractor or supplier: This notice is relevant for subcontractors and suppliers who have a contractual relationship with a subcontractor rather than the general contractor. In this scenario, the notice must be served to the subcontractor who the claimant directly contracted with, as well as the general contractor and the surety company. The Nevada Bond Claim Notice typically includes the following key information: 1. Claimant's name, address, and contact details. 2. Description of the nature of labor, services, materials, or equipment provided. 3. Amount of the claim, including any unpaid invoices or change orders. 4. Project name, address, identification numbers, and relevant dates. 5. Names and addresses of the general contractor, subcontractors, and surety company. 6. A statement asserting the claimant's right to file a lawsuit or initiate arbitration proceedings if necessary. It is important to note that the Nevada Revised Statutes set forth specific timing requirements for serving the Bond Claim Notice. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in the claimant losing the right to assert a bond claim. Therefore, it is crucial for claimants to consult with legal professionals to ensure compliance with all relevant legal provisions while preparing and serving the Nevada Bond Claim Notice.
