California Civil Code § 9300-9306 sets out the preliminary notice requirements for public works projects. So, public preliminary notices required as a matter of statute, not precedent. For additional information on CA's preliminary notice requirements - on both public and private projects - this page should be really valuable: California Preliminary Notice Guide and FAQs.

The preliminary notice requirements on California public works projects are specifically required under California Civil Code §§9300-9306. However, if you're looking for a particular case American Buildings Co. v. Bay Commercial Construction Inc. provides a good discussion of compliance with the notice requirements on CA public projects. You can also read The Ultimate Guide to California's 20-day Preliminary Notice for more information on the requirements.
