Prime contractor: self-explanatory.
Provide name of subcontractor only if your company worked under that firm as a second-tier subcontractor or supplier.

Date the form was signed.
The lien must be notarized.

Liens are to be filed only for projects where payment is due from the DOT. The DOT does not have authority to file a lien on projects let by another department or governmental entity.
This lien filing will withhold an amount of money sufficient to cover the lien from funds due or to become due to the prime contractor.
Action to enforce or determine the validity of the lien may be brought by the claimant, the contractor, or the DOT in the Circuit Court for the county where the work or any part will be situated.
This lien will cease to have any validity or be binding on the contractor or DOT unless an action to enforce the same is commenced within thirty (30) days from the acceptance of the work for which the same is claimed.
Notwithstanding these instructions, the provisions of SDCL Chapter 5-22 govern liens relating to public improvement contracts.
Mail original signed and notarized form to:
