ROEBBELEN CONTRACTING, INC.’S SIXTH NOTICE OF CONTINUED PERFECTION OF 

MECHANICS LIEN PURSUANT TO 11 U.S.C. § 546(b)(2) 2/3

1. On January 29, 2019 (the “Petition Date”), the above-captioned debtors (the 

“Debtors”) filed voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy petitions.

2. As of the Petition Date, Roebbelen had approximately 80 projects under 

construction in support of the Debtors’ strategic initiatives of safety, reliability, affordability, and 

consumer focus. The improvements performed by Roebbelen are designed to result in quicker 

response times, improved vehicle maintenance, better logistics for replacement materials, hazardous 

materials storage, and improvements to dispatch conference centers, including solutions for 

mapping, tracking outages, and safety trainings. Roebbelen’s work also relates to a security program 

for these same facilities, which Roebbelen is informed and believes have been identified by the 

Department of Homeland Security as known targets, including upgrading their fencing and security 

systems to meet improved security standards.

3. Before and after the Petition Date, Roebbelen has provided labor, services, 

equipment, and materials for works of improvement owned by Pacific Gas & Electric Company 

located in San Francisco County, California (among others). Roebbelen has lien rights (the “Lien”) 

related to these works of improvement. See Cal. Civ. Code § 8050(a) (defining works of 

improvement).

4. Through the filing of this Notice, the amount owing to Roebbelen on account of the 

Lien is at least $36,996.03 (calculated as the original lien amount of $68,288.45 less a first partial 

release in the amount of $31,282.42 and a second partial release in the amount of $10.00), not 

including interest and other charges, with additional amounts accrued and owed after the filing of 

this Notice.

5. Roebbelen properly perfected its Lien pursuant to California Civil Code §§ 8400 et. 

seq. by timely recording its Lien in the above-named county. See Cal. Civ. Code § 8412 (establishing 

deadlines for contractor to record lien claims). Roebbelen has also filed two partial releases reflecting

a downward adjustment to the amount originally claimed in the Lien. Authentic copies of the Lien 

and partial releases are attached to this Notice as Exhibit A.

1

6. Pursuant to California Civil Code § 8460, an action to enforce a lien must be filed 

within 90 days after recordation of the lien. The automatic stay imposed by 11 U.S.C. § 362(a) 

precludes Roebbelen from filing an action to enforce its Lien. When applicable law requires 

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

property, and the action was not filed prior to the bankruptcy petition date, then the claimant must 

instead give notice within the time fixed by law for filing the action. 11 U.S.C. § 546(b); Village 

Nurseries v. Gould (In re Baldwin Builders), 232 B.R. 406, 410–15 (B.A.P. 9th Cir. 1999); see Village 

Nurseries v. Greenbaum, 101 Cal. App. 4th 26 (2002).

7. Roebbelen hereby provides notice of its rights as a perfected lienholder pursuant to 

California’s law as to the Lien. To comply with all applicable law, including California state law and 

bankruptcy law, 11 U.S.C. §§ 362(a), 362(b)(3), and 546(b)(2), Roebbelen is filing and serving this 

Notice to preserve, perfect, maintain, and continue the perfection of its Lien and its lien rights in the 

properties identified therein. This Notice constitutes the legal equivalent of having commenced an 

action to foreclose the Lien in the proper court. Roebbelen intends to enforce its lien rights to the 

fullest extent permitted by law. The interests perfected, maintained, and/or continued by the Lien 

extend to the proceeds, products, rents, and profits of the liened properties.

8. Roebbelen reserves all rights, including the right to amend or supplement this 

Notice.

Notice, the attached recorded documents shall control. Roebbelen reserves the right to modify the 

Lien, such as to increase or decrease the amount.
