Old Town Facade Program Construction Project at 17053 D Street and 15593 7th Street

The City of Victorville is offering the Old Town Commercial Facade Improvement Program to assist eligible commercial property owners with enhancing the storefront appearances in the Old Town Area, aiming to stimulate private investment, revitalize commercial corridors, and improve architectural aesthetics. Property owners at 17053 D Street and 15593 7th Street have been approved for participation in this HUD Community Development Block Grant-funded project, which emphasizes use of quality materials, good design principles, and the promotion of retail activity and neighborhood character. Project completion is required by May 2026, with payments for approved construction tasks made upon inspection and satisfaction of contract obligations. The contract includes stringent federal and local compliance requirements, including compliance with the Davis-Bacon Act prevailing wage standards for San Bernardino County, labor standards provisions as updated by HUD in 2023, and adherence to environmental mandates for construction waste recycling. Contractors are required to provide performance and payment bonds guaranteeing project completion and payment to subcontractors, as well as certifications regarding eligibility and suspension status under federal regulations. The City provides clear bid submission instructions, including handling of price discrepancies and document acknowledgments, while also enforcing apprenticeship regulations through appropriate reporting and dispatch forms. The project is administered by the City Manager’s Office with specified points of contact, and contractors must maintain labor and wage compliance, ensuring proper wage determinations and posting, as well as supporting apprenticeship participation consistent with California public works requirements.
