Have any of you learned folks come across a provision similar to that in 255.05, that allows one to shorten the time for a claimant to commence their bond claim action from 1 year to 60 days, but applicable to an FS 337.18 (FDOT) bond. We have a sub-sub holding up payment of final progress and retainage by refusing to furnish a waiver base upon a claim for additional compensation that has already been heard and rejected. There is nothing similar to the 255.05 (and 713) provisions in FS 337.18, I see nothing in the specs and nothing in section of DOT sections of FAC. I recognize there are some ordinary litigation avenues to force the issue, but would prefer to put the ball in the claimant's court. G. Elliott -- Gregory T. Elliott **/ELLIOTT - BERGER, P.
