If approved, a Notice of Completion (NOC) would be filed, which protects the City from future claims against the Project by providing proper noticing to each contractor, subcontractor, and material supplier, that the Project has been completed. The payment bond would be released upon Project acceptance by the City and the performance bond would be released one year after the date of recording of the NOC. The City has not received any stop notices that would prevent said releases.
