Route 66 Refresh Project

The Route 66 Refresh Project (MS26-112) is a City of Victorville initiative aimed at revitalizing the historic Old Town Route 66 corridor through targeted exterior improvements to distressed commercial properties. This beautification and safety enhancement program seeks to reduce blight, increase visual appeal, and bolster public safety by implementing a series of one-time maintenance and repair services. These include graffiti removal, exterior painting with city-selected designs, installation of solar-powered security lighting, replacement of damaged boards with Route 66–branded polycarbonate panels, signage removal, fencing repair, and debris and vegetation cleanup. The project scope is designed for efficient, visible transformation across multiple properties, emphasizing community pride, neighborhood improvement, and economic revitalization outcomes. Qualified vendors partnering with the City will engage in work adhering to clear standards and defined scopes, supported by compliance with California prevailing wage laws and federal labor standards applicable to federally assisted projects. This includes conformance with Davis-Bacon labor requirements, prevailing wage determinations for operating engineers and laborers, and apprenticeship program regulations. The contract involves a Construction/Demolition Waste Recycling Plan to manage material diversion and disposal responsibly, as well as performance and payment bonds guaranteeing project completion and proper payment to subcontractors and laborers. Vendors must also provide certified payroll reports and adhere to federal and state labor provisions to ensure fair wages and working conditions. The project deadline for vendor responses is April 15, 2026, with primary coordination handled by the City’s Code Compliance office in Victorville, California.
