SB 5249 - DIGEST


Provides that, for small works roster projects, a state agency may waive the payment and performance bond requirements of chapter 39.08 RCW and the retainage requirements of chapter 60.28 RCW on a small works roster contract, thereby assuming the liability for the contractor's nonpayment of laborers, mechanics, subcontractors, materialmen, suppliers, and taxes imposed under Title 82 RCW that may be due from the contractor for the public works project. However, the state agency has the right of recovery against the contractor for any payments made on the contractor's behalf.
