Subject: Resolution Authorizing the Elimination of Designated Properties Known as Parcels 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11
from the Right-of-Way Needed for the People�s Transportation Plan Project Entitled Roadway Expansion
and Improvements to NW 37 Avenue from NW North River Drive to NW 79 Street

STAFF RECOMMENDATION
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Board of County Commissioners (BCC) approve the attached resolution authorizing the elimination of Parcels 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11 from the right-of-way needed for the Roadway Expansion and Improvements to NW 37 Avenue from NW North River Drive to NW 79 Street (Project). On June 2, 2009, the BCC previously adopted Resolutions R-692-09, R-693-09, R-694-09, R-698-09 and R-699-09 authorizing the acquisition of these parcels.

SCOPE
The properties to be eliminated are located within County Commission District 2 and traverse the City of Hialeah and the City of Miami. However, this Project is beneficial countywide.

FISCAL IMPACT/FUNDING SOURCE
Funding for the right-of-way acquisition, design and construction of this project is from Charter County Transportation Surtax bond proceeds, and may be supplemented by other eligible funding sources. This item will be presented to the CITT for review prior to final consideration by the BCC. Funding is programmed within the adopted FY2010-11 Capital Budget with a current index code of CPEPTP60237A. The initial acquisition cost has been budgeted and no additional fiscal impacts are expected; however, in the event of litigation the ultimate acquisition cost would be subject to a future ruling by the Court and would require further CITT and BCC approval.

The total cost of the Project (inclusive of construction, design and the right-of-way acquisition of all parcels) is estimated at $19,270,277.00. The anticipated ongoing annual maintenance and operational costs will be approximately $9,663.34 and $11,057.64, respectively.

TRACK MONITOR
The Miami-Dade County Public Works and Waste Management Department (PWWM) is the entity overseeing this Project and the person responsible for monitoring this item is Mr. Raul A. Pino, PLS, Chief, Land Development/Right-of-Way Division.

MANAGER'S BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
In an effort to reduce costs, the Project was reevaluated for cost effectiveness and subjected to value engineering. These efforts resulted in the redesign of a segment of the Project, yielding cost savings, minimizing the amount of right-of-way to be acquired, maintaining the integrity of the Project, while adhering to the goals of the BCC. The resolution withdraws Parcels 4, 5, 6, 10 and 11, described therein, from the right-of-way needed by PWWM for the roadway expansion portion of the aforementioned Project. The parcels to be withdrawn are illustrated in the parcel location map in Exhibit �A,� attached hereto. The project consists of the reconstruction and widening of an existing two (2) lane undivided roadway to a three (3) lane roadway including parking lanes, sidewalks, curb & gutters, a new storm drainage system, signalization, pavement markings & signing and roadway lighting. These improvements will increase vehicular capacity, improve traffic mobility, ensure ADA compliance, and provide multiple modes of transportation.
