§ 16-6-121 — Notice required to receive protection under a bond or guarantee; limitation; notice required by owner in project specifications

(a) Any subcontractor or materialman entitled to the
protection of a bond or other form of guarantee approved by a
public entity under W.S. 16-6-112 shall give notice of his right

materialman's protection under the bond or guarantee.

days after the date on which services or materials are first
furnished.
(c) The notice shall be sent to the general contractor by
certified mail, electronic means or delivered to and receipted
by the general contractor or his agent. Notice by certified
mail or electronic means is effective on the date the notice is
mailed or sent electronically.

is a notice of a right to protection under the bond or
guarantee. The notice shall be signed by the subcontractor or
materialman and shall include the following information:
(i) The subcontractor or materialman's name, address
and phone number and the name of a contact person;
(ii) The name and address of the subcontractor's or
materialman's vendor; and

contractor's contract is for an amount exceeding one hundred
fifty thousand dollars ($150,000.00).
(f) The general contractor shall post on the construction
site a prominent sign citing this section and stating that any
subcontractor or materialman shall give notice to the general
contractor of a right to protection under the bond or guarantee
and that failure to provide the notice shall waive the
subcontractor or materialman's protection under the bond or
guarantee.
