Payment Bonds – ARIZONA CONSTRUCTION and the LAW
As a reminder, Cemex upended the longstanding construction industry practice of mailing preliminary twenty-day notices on Little Miller Act projects via first class mail with a certificate of mailing. This had been done as a cost saving measure because: (1) Arizona’s mechanic’s lien statute requiring twenty-day notices—A.R.S. § 33-992.01—expressly provides in Subsection (F) that the notices may be provided by “first class mail sent with a certificate of mailing;” and (2) the Little Miller Act section requiring 20-day notices in certain instances—A.R.S. § 34-223(A)—incorporated by reference a significant portion of § 33-992.01. Nevertheless, Cemex held that this industry practice did not comply with § 34-223(A). Specifically, the Court found that the mailing provisions of § 33-992.01(F) were excluded from § 34-223(A), such that Little Miller Act 20-day notices were required to “to be served by registered or certified mail,” like Little Miller Act ninety-day post-completion notices. read more
