Email: pra@lausd.netStop Payment Notice ProcessingA subcontractor seeking payment for materials and labor provided to a non-paying contractor typically initiates a stop payment notice. Stop Payment Notice processing will require the following:
- Subcontractor ("claimant") serves LAUSD with a stop payment notice (Civil Code § 8044)
- Original document should contain:
- Name of contractor to whom labor and materials were provided.
- Value of labor and materials provided.
- Total value of labor and materials agreed to be furnished in contract.
- Value of unpaid labor and materials furnished.
- Claimant's name and address.
- Project identification (either by contract or project number, or by school name and description of project).
- Original signatures
- Verification - penalty of perjury page or notarized letter authenticating statements. (Civil Code § 9352)
A properly executed stop payment notice will require LAUSD to withhold payment (the specified claim amount plus 25% for possible cost of litigation) from the general contractor (Civil Code §§ 9350-9510). Facilities Contracts (FC) will issue a Notice of Withhold against the specific project's contract.
Upon payment or settlement of the withheld amount, claimant should send a Release of Stop Payment Notice to Facilities Contracts (FC) and FC will issue a Release of Withhold.
