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

MECHANICS LIENS 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 the following counties, all of which are located in the State of California: Alameda, Santa 

Clara, and San Joaquin (among others). Roebbelen has lien rights (collectively the “Liens”) related to 

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

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

the Liens is at least $19,135.50, not including interest and other charges, with additional amounts 

accrued and owed after the filing of this Notice.

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

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

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

downward adjustments to some of the amounts originally claimed in the Liens. An index of the 

Liens and partial releases is attached as Exhibit A and authentic copies of the Liens and partial 

releases are attached as Exhibit B to this Notice.1

 1 To the extent that there is a discrepancy between this Notice, the index attached as Exhibit 

A, and the recorded liens and partial releases attached as Exhibit B, the recorded lien documents

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

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

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 Liens. 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 Liens. 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 Liens and its lien rights in 

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

an action to foreclose the Liens 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 

Liens 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.

Dated June 26, 2019 FINESTONE HAYES LLP

shall control. Roebbelen reserves the right to modify the liens, such as to increase or decrease the 

amount.
