subcontractor, assignee or legal representative may file a written
demand requiring notice of completion and acceptance be given to him
upon the happening of such event.

bureau having charge of the construction or demolition. It shall state
the name and address of the one making the demand; the name of the
contractor or subcontractor for whom the labor was performed or
materials furnished; the estimated amount of the entire value thereof;
and a description of the public improvement upon which the labor was
performed or the materials furnished.

cause written notice thereof to be mailed to the name and address of the
one making the demand as recited therein.

4. The failure by the state, public corporation or any officer or
