STAFF RECOMMENDATION
Executive Summary
This item seeks ratification by the Board of County Commissioners (the Board) of the action of the County Mayor or County Mayor�s designee approving the competitive award of Construction Contract No. W-954 (the Contract) for a Two-Year Countywide Contract for WASD Pavement Restoration B (the Project) with the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, H & R Paving, Inc. (the Contractor). The Contract provides for an initial two (2) year term in an amount not to exceed $4,375,890.00, with a one (1) year option to renew in an additional amount not to exceed $2,187,945.00, for a total not-to-exceed value of $6,563,835.00 over a three (3) year period.

The Contractor will perform asphalt restoration following repair work completed by the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) throughout Miami-Dade County (the County). These improvements are necessary to close permits with the applicable local governing agencies. The Contract includes base restoration, asphalt placement, milling, and resurfacing, and is structured as a work order-based agreement. This approach provides the flexibility to address restoration needs on an as-needed basis across the County, which will assist with timely permit closures, minimization of disruptions to the public, and safe and quality roadway infrastructure throughout the County.

As part of its $8.6 billion Capital Improvement Program, WASD is investing in infrastructure improvements that support system reliability, regulatory compliance, and the long-term sustainability of County assets. This Contract is a key component of that effort by ensuring that roadways impacted by critical water and sewer repairs are fully restored.

Scope
The Project will take place throughout the County; therefore, the impact of this item is countywide in nature.

Delegation of Authority
