The punch list on a city project is created on June 2. By when must the city pay the remaining contract balance less the withholding the statute allows?

Correct Answer

A) 20 business days after the list is created

Section 218.735(7)(e) runs 20 business days from creation of the list, not from completion of the listed work. Payment for the amount held back under that paragraph comes later, when the contractor submits a request after finishing the items, under s. 218.735(7)(f).

Answer Options
A
20 business days after the list is created
B
20 business days after all listed items are complete
C
30 calendar days after the list is created
D
10 business days after the list is created
