Whereas, on 12/15/2005, a certain Deed of Trust was executed by George McGinnis, a married man as his sole and seperate property as trustor in favor of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. as beneficiary, and Fidelity National Title Insurance Company as trustee, and was recorded on 12/21/2005, as Instrument No. 2005-0297540, in the Office of the County Recorder of Fresno County, California; and Whereas, the Deed of Trust was insured by the United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (the Secretary) pursuant to the National Housing Act for the purpose of providing single family housing; and Whereas, the beneficial interest in the Deed of Trust is now owned by the Secretary, pursuant to an Assignment of Deed of Trust  dated 10/28/2015, recorded on 10/30/2015, as instrument number 2015-0140289-00, in the Office of the County Recorder, Fresno County, California; and Whereas, a default has been made in the covenants and conditions of the Deed of Trust in that the payment due on 9/27/2024, was not made and remains wholly unpaid as of the date of this notice, and no payment has been made sufficient to restore the loan to currency; and Whereas, the entire amount delinquent as of 12/12/2024 is $232,726.11; and Whereas, by virtue of this default, the Secretary has declared the entire amount of the indebtedness secured by the Deed of Trust to be immediately due and payable; Now Therefore, pursuant to powers vested in me by the Single Family Mortgage Foreclosure Act of 1994, 12 U.S.C. 3751 et seq., by 24 CFR part 27, subpart B, and by the Secretary’s designation of Total Lender Solutions, Inc. as Foreclosure Commissioner, recorded on 2/7/2019 as instrument number 2019-0012638, notice is hereby given that on 12/12/2024 at 10:00 AM local time, all real and personal property at or used in connection with the following described property will be sold at public auction to the highest bidder: Legal Description: Lot 24 Of Tract No. 1149, Booker Haven, In The City Of Fresno, County Of Fresno, State Of California, According To The Map Thereof Recorded In Book 15 Page 5 Of Plats, Fresno County Records. Commonly known as: 1036 E Drummond Ave, Fresno, CA 93706 The sale will be held at West entrance to County Courthouse Breezeway, 1100 Van Ness Ave, Fresno, CA.  The Secretary of Housing and Urban Development will bid an estimate of $232,726.11. There will be no proration of taxes, rents or other income or liabilities, except that the purchaser will pay, at or before closing, his prorata share of any real estate taxes that have been paid by the Secretary to the date of the foreclosure sale. When making their bids, all bidders except the Secretary must submit a deposit totaling $23,272.61 [10% of the Secretary’s bid] in the form of a certified check or cashier’s check made out to the Secretary of HUD.  Each oral bid need not be accompanied by a deposit.  If the successful bid is oral, a deposit of $23,272.61 must be presented before the bidding is closed.  The deposit is nonrefundable.  The remainder of the purchase price must be delivered within 30 days of the sale or at such other time as the Secretary may determine for good cause shown, time being of the essence.  This amount, like the bid deposits, must be delivered in the form of a certified or cashier’s check.  If the Secretary is the high bidder, he need not pay the bid amount in cash.  The successful bidder will pay all conveyancing fees, all real estate and other taxes that are due on or after the delivery of the remainder of the payment and all other costs associated with the transfer of title.  At the conclusion of the sale, the deposits of the unsuccessful bidders will be returned to them. The Secretary may grant an extension of time within which to deliver the remainder of the payment.  All extensions will be for 15-day increments for a fee of $500.00, paid in advance.  The extension fee shall be in the form of a certified or cashier’s check made payable to the Secretary of HUD.  If the high bidder closes the sale prior to the expiration of any extension period, the unused portion of the extension fee shall be applied toward the amount due. If the high bidder is unable to close the sale within the required period, or within any extensions of time granted by the Secretary, the high bidder may be required to forfeit the cash deposit or, at the election of the foreclosure commissioner after consultation with the HUD Field Office representative, will be liable to HUD for any costs incurred as a result of such failure.  The commissioner may, at the direction of the HUD field office Representative, offer the Property to the second highest bidder for an amount equal to the highest price offered by that bidder. There is no right of redemption, or right of possession based upon a right of redemption, in the mortgagor or others subsequent to a foreclosure completed pursuant the Act.  Therefore, the Foreclosure commissioner will issue a Deed to the purchaser(s) upon receipt of the entire purchase price in accordance with the terms of the sale as provided herein.  HUD does not guarantee that the property will be vacant. The amount that must be paid if the Mortgage is to be reinstated prior to the scheduled sale is $232,726.11, as of 1/8/2025, plus all other amounts that would be due under the mortgage agreement if payments under the mortgage had not been accelerated, advertising costs and postage expenses incurred in giving notice, mileage by the most reasonable road distance for posting notices and for the Foreclosure Commissioner’s attendance at the sale, reasonable and customary costs incurred for title and lien record searches, the necessary out-of-pocket costs incurred by the Foreclosure Commissioner for recording documents, a commission for the Foreclosure Commissioner, and all other costs incurred in connection with the foreclosure prior to reinstatement.

ADMINISTER ESTATE OF
JOHN LAUGHLIN
CASE NO: 24CEPR02065
To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JOHN LAUGHLIN
A Petition for Probate has been filed by Fresno County Public Administrator in the Superior Court of California, County of Fresno.
The Petition for Probate requests that Fresno County Public Administrator be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent.
The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows:
January 27, 2025, 9:00 A.M., Dept.: 402
1130 O Street, 3rd Floor
Fresno, CA 93724-2201
BF Sisk Bldg.
If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

THE PETITION requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.
A HEARING on the petition will be held in this court as follows: 01/27/25 at 9:00AM in Dept. 402 located at 1130 O STREET, THIRD FLOOR, FRESNO, CA 93721
IF YOU OBJECT to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.
IF YOU ARE A CREDITOR or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative, as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.
Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.
YOU MAY EXAMINE the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

Bid Proposal: Barstow Avenue Rehabilitation
No bid will be considered unless it is made on a bid proposal form furnished by the City Engineer.  Each bid must be accompanied by a certified or cashier’s check or bidder’s bond on the City’s form, made payable to the City of Clovis, for an amount equal to at least ten percent (10%) of the amount bid.  Such guarantee will be forfeited should the bidder to whom the contract is awarded fail to enter into the contract.  A Performance Bond in the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the contract amount and a Labor and Materials (Payment) Bond in the amount equal to one hundred percent (100%) of the contract amount will be required by the City from the bidder to whom the contract is awarded.  Said bonds shall be on the City’s forms and shall be issued by a surety company which is an admitted surety insurer authorized by the California Department of Insurance to transact business in this state, which has a rating not lower than “A-” as rated by A.M. Best Company, Inc. or other independent rating companies, and which is acceptable to the City of Clovis.  Bidders are cautioned that representations made by surety companies will be verified with the California Department of Insurance.  In accordance with the provisions of Chapter 13 (commencing with Section 4590), Division 5, Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California, securities may be substituted for monies withheld on the project.
In accordance with the provisions of Section 1770 of the Labor Code, the Director of the Department of Industrial Relations of the State of California has determined the General Prevailing Rates and wages and employer payments for health and welfare pension, vacation, travel time and subsistence pay, as provided for in Section 1773, apprenticeship or other training programs authorized by section 3093, and similar purposes applicable to the work to be done.  Said wages are available from the Internet web site of the California Department of Industrial Relations at http://www.dir.ca.gov/DLSR/PWD and also available at the City Clerk Office, Clovis Civic Center, 1033 Fifth Street, Clovis, CA 93612.  A copy of the above-mentioned wage rates shall be posted by the Contractor at the job site where it will be available to any interested party.
In accordance with the provisions of Sections 1725.5, 1771.1, 1771.3, and 1771.4 of the Labor Code, this project is subject to compliance monitoring and enforcement by the Department of Industrial Relations. A contractor or subcontractor shall not be qualified to bid on, be listed in a bid proposal (subject to the requirements of Section 4104 of the Public Contract Code), or engage in the performance of any contract for public work, as defined by that chapter of the Labor Code, unless currently registered and qualified to perform public work pursuant to Section 1725.5 of the Labor Code.  See Section 7-2 of the Standard Specifications (General Conditions) for additional requirements. 
The City of Clovis will affirmatively insure that in any contract entered into pursuant to this advertisement, minority business enterprises will be afforded full opportunity to submit bids in response to this invitation and will not be discriminated against on the grounds of race, color, religious creed, sex, or national origin in consideration for an award.
The Federal minimum wage rates for this project as predetermined by the United States Secretary of Labor are set forth in the Bid book and in copies of this book that may be examined at the offices described above where project plans, special provisions, and bid forms may be seen.  The latest edition is also available from the Internet web site at U.S. General Services Administration and archives are available through the System for Award Management (SAM).gov.  Addenda to modify the Federal minimum wage rates, if necessary, will be issued to holders of Bid book.  Future effective general prevailing wage rates, which have been predetermined and are on file with the California Department of Industrial Relations are referenced but not printed in the general prevailing wage rates.  “Modifications” to the wage rates typically change the wage rate or fringe benefits for particular crafts and trades included in the original decision.  Modifications will not be effective if they are received after the bid opening or later than ten (10) days prior to the bid opening (unless there is reasonable time to notify bidders).  Modifications received prior to ten (10) days before the bid opening will require notification of bidders by Addendum.
Attention is directed to the Federal minimum wage rate requirements in the Bid book.  If there is a difference between the minimum wage rates predetermined by the Secretary of Labor and the general prevailing wage rates determined by the Director of the California Department of Industrial Relations for similar classifications of labor, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the higher wage rate.  The Department will not accept lower State wage rates not specifically included in the Federal minimum wage determinations.  This includes “helper” (or other classifications based on hours of experience) or any other classification not appearing in the Federal wage determinations.  Where Federal wage determinations do not contain the State wage rate determination otherwise available for use by the Contractor and subcontractors, the Contractor and subcontractors shall pay not less than the Federal minimum wage rate, which most closely approximates the duties of the employees in question.
Keep the following three paragraphs for Federal fund
Bidders are advised that, as required by federal law, the City of Clovis is implementing new Disadvantaged Business Enterprise requirements for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE).  Section 2, “Proposal Requirements and Conditions,” under subsection titled “Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE)” and Section 5, “General,” under subsection titled “Performance of Subcontractors” of these special provisions cover the DBE requirements.  The DBE Contract goal is Error! Unknown document property name..  The Agency may consider the DBE commitments of the 2nd and 3rd bidders when determining whether the low bidder made good faith efforts to meet the DBE goal. 
This project is subject to “Buy America” requirements of the Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (Section 165), and the Intermodal Surface Transportation Efficiency Act of 1991 (ISTEA) Sections 1041(a) and 1048(a), Title 23 CFR 635.410, and the regulations adopted pursuant thereto.
