Answering a Lien

Utah

We have a unique situation that arose late last Friday. On our project 314-9-1, APC West, our subcontractor, Flexx Truss Systems, LLC, sub, MSI Structural, filed a lien 3/16/23. Our General Contractor, The Pike Company, Inc., tendered the demand to us on 4/14/23. We have paid our sub and are still owed our 5% retainage and outstanding change orders totaling roughly $500,000. The project is in UT, so as I understand it, we have 30 days from the 14th to respond. This is really not our issue, but we must address or the owner will not get his Certificate of Occupancy which will make the payments get off track.
