In most LV jurisdictions, the lien filing deadline runs from last day on the project OR last delivery of materials, whichever is later — but several states use a project-wide cutoff (substantial completion) regardless of when your specific work ended. Counting the wrong start date is the leading cause of waived liens.
A blown lien deadline drops your collateral down to a personal-guaranty claim, which often means recovery cents on the dollar. The window is short — 60 to 120 days in most states.
A bid bond protects the owner if the bidder refuses to enter the contract; it pays the difference between the rejected bid and the next responsive bid. A performance bond covers contractor non-performance during the project. A payment bond protects unpaid subcontractors and suppliers. Each has different claimants and triggers.
Subs frequently file claims against the wrong bond and lose them on procedural grounds without ever reaching the merits. Knowing which bond covers your specific exposure is table stakes for collections.
Federal Davis-Bacon applies to projects with federal funding above a threshold; state "little Davis-Bacon" laws apply to state-funded projects with their own thresholds. The trap: rules apply to the work, not the contract — a privately funded portion of a project with any covered funding is subject to coverage on the whole.
Wage-rate violations carry back-pay liability, debarment from future public bidding, and personal liability for officers in many states. The audits look back years.
