Notice Requirements - Millers Act Payment Bond
The Miller Act requires that any contractor or material supplier who does not have a direct contract with the general/prime contractor must serve a “90-day notice of claim on bond” within 90 days from the last date that the claimant furnish labor or material for which the claim is made.[1] Basically, all sub-subcontractors and material suppliers to a subcontractor must serve this notice. Failure to properly serve the notice will prevent the claimant from making a claim against the Miller Act payment bond.
A contractor or material supplier who has a direct contract with the general/prime contractor is exempt from this notice requirement. To be on the safe side, it is recommended to serve the notice anyways.
