(“PG&E”) and a subcontractor under certain pre-petition agreements with Roebbelen

Contracting, Inc. and CB2 Builders, Inc., respectively, which entities were or are general

contractors under certain related general contract agreements with PG&E (collectively, “WBE

 general contractors as specified in Schedule G in this case [Docket No. 907], as such

subcontracts and general contracts may have been amended and restated or otherwise modified

or supplemented from time to time. Under the WBE Contracts, WBE provided certain

electrical, HVAC, sitework, interior upgrades and related services at PG&E facilities and

properties throughout Northern California (collectively, the “Properties”) to the benefit of

PG&E. The total value of the WBE Contracts attached to the Properties as of March 21, 2019

was $554,246.11.

Pursuant to California Civil Code § 8460, an action to enforce a mechanics lien must be

commenced within 90 days after recordation of the claim of lien. However, due to the automatic

stay herein, WBE is precluded from filing a state court action to enforce its liens. Under 11

U.S.C. § 546(b)(2), when applicable law requires seizure of property or commencement of an

action to perfect, maintain or continue the perfection of an interest in property, and the property

has not been seized or an action has not been commenced before the bankruptcy petition date,

the claimant shall instead file a notice in bankruptcy court within the time fixed by law for

seizing the property or commencing an action. 11 U.S.C. § 546(b )(2); see also In re Baldwin

Builders, 232 B.R. 406, 410-411 (9th Cir. 1999); Village Nurseries v. Greenbaum, 101

Cal.App. 4th 26, 41 (2002).

Under California Civ. Code §§ 8050(a) and 8412, WBE is entitled to assert and hereby

does assert its lien rights and under 11 U.S.C. § 546(b) and gives this Notice in lieu of the

commencement of any action to perfect, maintain or continue WBE’s liens. WBE requests

adequate protection of said liens. True and correct copies of each of WBE’s liens, recorded and

filed against the Properties in each respective California county, are attached hereto as

EXHIBIT A and further identified therein as Exhibit A-1 thru Exhibit A-6, together with a

summary of said liens. The outstanding amount due under these six (6) liened projects currently

totals not less than $106,583.07 (altogether, the “WBE Liens”).
