Mechanics lien claims generally aren't available against publicly owned property. As a result, mechanics lien claims typically aren't available against public schools. Levelset discusses that in further detail here: Securing Payment on School Renovation Projects.

Instead of a mechanics lien claim, a payment bond claim will usually be more appropriate on public projects. Typically, the project's GC will have to secure a payment bond for public projects - and claimants can make claims against that bond. If the claim againt that bond is not paid, then the claimant can pursue a lawsuit against the bond - similar to enforcing a mechanics lien claim. Full discussion on payment bond claims here: Payment Bond Claims: How to get paid by a surety bond in construction.

If the project is public but is not bonded, then legal claims may be the only recourse available for a customer's failure to pay. If that's the case, then consulting with an Oklahoma construction lawyer would likely be really useful for determining how to move forward. You can find a lawyer here, if need be: Top Oklahoma Construction Lawyers

Finally, note that tools like invoice reminders, Notices of Intent, and demand letters can all lead to payment too. Here are some links where you can learn more about those options:

No, but there is likely a payment bond for the project.  If you contact me I can help you locate it and get paid.

Thanks for the clarification, I was in a similar situation myself. You reminded me of school, it was a management school where I studied, the only thing I didn't like was research papers. Thanks to this service https://assignmentbro.com/us/research-paper-writing I was able to solve this issue. I turned to professionals and received help with these tasks, which allowed me to spend time on my hobby
