Hello! We have affordable housing project in Connecticut, we are materials supplier, owner is non profit organization. Which project type in Levelset we should select for Affordable housing projects- can affordable housing projects be under "state/county" type? Our last delivery was 07/29/2021, and only retainage is left not paid. This project have a bond, so we could file bond claim. Could you please explain deadline for retainage bond claim, as we don't know when our client - general contractor applies for or receives retainage. They said that project is not finished yet and that's why retainage is not paid yet. Thank you!...Read More

However the relationship between me and my customer has turned very bad and they delaying and or avoided paying our pay application. The project is the Newington Town Hall (Municipal).

I am a small WBE, SBE contracted through a large electrical company(General Contractor) to perform construction for a federally funded project for the city of New Haven.
In 2017 we performed change order work that was fully documented to the General Contractor at the commencement of work. Only 85% of the work could be completed so payment was withheld until work was 100% completed for change order. The ongoing project was stalled several times due to incorrect plans and mismanagement problems by the City. The project consisted of improvements at several city locations. After the city received the funding they made multiple changes to their plans and our contract with the General Contractor. The change order aspect of the project was completed in August of 2019. We have not received final compensation; more than $25,000. Is still owed. We have completed all work towards other aspects of the project this past June of 2020. Our contract was initially for $380,000. However after beginning the work the city slashed all parts and we completed roughly $190,000. work. Our overhead for the project remains the same so the estimated value of earnings was immensely diminished. The balance of the change order remains unpaid and the city of New Haven along with it’s consultant has continued to create exhorbitant delays in compensation. Our certified payroll reports were tampered with by the cities consultant. After having been made aware of this I presented true copies that had been sent through email previously to refute their bogus claims. The CEO from the city wrote a (6) page report also documenting that I was in fact correct and that my certified payroll was correct and proper, and was only changed after reaching the hands of the city’s consultant. It has been a complete year since the final work was completed for the change order however the entire project was only completed last month. Can we make a claim against the City or the General contractor utilizing the little miller act? And can we also make a construction claim against the 50% diminished contract that caused us severe losses in revenue that was expected when contract was signed? ...Read More
