BACKGROUND
On December 23, 2025, a significant storm event brought unprecedented rainfall to the City of Hesperia and the surrounding High Desert region, with some areas receiving over 7.5 inches of rain. This event resulted in widespread flooding and extensive damage throughout the City.
On December 26, 2025, the City’s Director of Emergency Services issued a local emergency declaration (Resolution No. 2025-051), which was subsequently ratified by the City Council on December 29, 2025.
To expedite the City’s emergency response and protect public health, safety, and welfare, staff streamlined procurement procedures to advance critical repair work. This effort resulted in multiple emergency projects, including 2025 December Adverse Weather Emergency Road Repair No. 1 and No. 2, and Sewer Pipe Repair. 2025 December Adverse Weather Emergency Road Repair No. 1 included asphalt pavement repair and replacement on Arcadia Avenue, Lassen Avenue, Peach Avenue, and Tioga Street. 2025 December Adverse Weather Emergency Road Repair No. 2 included earthwork, grading, material import/export and placement, removal and disposal of a damaged storm drain box and other debris, and sewer line inspection on Cedar Street and Bandicoot Trail. 2025 December Adverse Weather Emergency Sewer Repairs included earthwork, grading, material import/export and placement, sewer pipe replacement, roadway and shoulder restoration, and installation of aggregate base and new asphalt pavement on Valencia Street and Topaz Avenue.
