Subject: Resolution Authorizing Execution of a Road Jurisdiction Transfer Agreement Between Miami-Dade County and the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority for NW 138 Street from Okeechobee Road/SR 25 to west of Interstate 75, Approving the Official Right-of-Way Transfer Map, and the Recording of said Map Among the Public Records

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve the attached resolution authorizing the execution of a Road Jurisdiction Transfer Agreement (Agreement) between Miami-Dade County (County) and the Miami-Dade Expressway Authority (MDX) to transfer NW 138 Street from Okeechobee Road/SR 25 to west of Interstate 75 (I-75), from County to MDX jurisdiction, approving the Official Right-of-Way Transfer Map of NW 138 Street from Okeechobee Road/SR 25 to west of I-75, and authorizing the recording of said map among the Public Records.

SCOPE
MDX has requested that the County transfer the right-of-way known as NW 138 Street from Okeechobee Road/SR 25 to west of I-75 from County to MDX jurisdiction (Attachment 1). This roadway is located within the City of Hialeah (City) and Commission District 12.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Upon execution of this Agreement and recordation of the Official Right-of-Way Transfer Map, the County will no longer be liable for expenses related to the operation and maintenance of this roadway. In addition, it will enable the County to receive reimbursement ($6,860,000) from the City for County expenditures that have been made pursuant to the existing Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) between the City and County for the City�s construction of improvements along NW 138 Street (Project). MDX will thereafter assume responsibility to reimburse the City for their completion of the Project.

DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY
No additional authority is being requested within the body of this contract.

TRACK RECORD/MONITOR
The Public Works and Waste Management Department (PWWM) is the entity overseeing this item and the person responsible is Raul A. Pino, PLS, Land Development/Right-of-Way Chief.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
On June 30, 2009, the BCC approved a JPA between Miami-Dade County and the City, to provide County funding for the construction of the Project under Resolution No. R-838-09. The construction of this Project is ongoing and will be completed by the City.

MDX is pursuing the extension of SR 924 (Gratigny Expressway) west to the Homestead Extension of the Florida Turnpike (HEFT) and proposes to utilize NW 138 Street to provide this connection. The City is in support of this proposed arrangement in order to facilitate access and mobility in this developing area of the County (Attachment 2). MDX has held public meetings for the project and the preferred alternative is the NW 138 Street alignment. This transfer does not prejudice the outcome of the on-going project development and environmental study.

The expressway extension is proposed to be tolled at its eastern and western-most connections, SR 924 and the HEFT respectively, with the roadway section in between remaining as a controlled-access, non-tolled facility. In order for MDX to utilize its capital bond funding for the Project, MDX must have a property interest in the proposed facility. Therefore, MDX has requested that NW 138 Street, from Okeechobee Road/SR 25 to west of I-75 be transferred from the County to MDX jurisdiction.

Once the roadway transfer has occurred, MDX will reimburse the City for costs incurred to widen the roadway. The County and the City propose to amend the existing JPA to reimburse to the County all funds previously paid by the County to the City for the Project, and to terminate the remainder of the JPA. The City will reimburse the County for its contributions toward the Project within 60 business days of the execution of the Amendment to the JPA, as well as this Agreement and the recordation of the Official Right-of-Way Transfer Map. The Amendment to the JPA is concurrently being presented for approval by the BCC under a separate resolution. A new JPA will then be submitted for other programmed projects within the City that will utilize those same reimbursed funds.

The Resolution authorizes the recording of an Official Right-of-Way Transfer Map which shall serve as the instrument of conveyance pursuant to Chapter 337.29 of the Florida Statutes, to be attested by the Deputy Clerk of the Board on behalf of the BCC and returned to PWWM to be recorded in the Public Records of Miami-Dade County Florida.
