contractor's statement of payment; disputed claims.
In all contracts entered into by any person with a public entity
for a public work, no payments under W.S. 16-6-116(a) shall be
made until the person files with the public entity with which
the contract has been made, a sworn statement setting forth that
all claims for material, supplies and labor performed under the
contract have been and are paid for the entire period of time
for which the payment is to be made. If any claim for material,
supplies or labor is disputed the sworn statement shall so
state, and the amount claimed to be due the subcontractor or
materialmen may be filed by the claimant as a claim against the
general contractor's surety bond. Payment to the general
contractor under W.S. 16-6-116(a) shall be paid without regard
to any pending claims against the general contractor's surety
bond unless the public entity has actual knowledge that the
surety bond is deficient to settle known present claims, in
which case an amount equal to the disputed claims may be
withheld.
