STAFF RECOMMENDATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The purpose of this item is to gain approval of the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to execute a contract award recommendation for the project titled �Roadway Improvements to NW 58 Street from NW 97 Avenue to NW 79 Avenue, Capital Project No. 20250068,� in the amount of $17,933,304.63 to Horizon Contractors, Inc., for a 730-day term. This project is being funded by Mobility Impact Fees.

This project entails the complete reconstruction of the existing roadway along NW 58th Street, an east-west transportation corridor servicing the City of Doral. The improvements will result in a four-lane roadway with continuous center turning lanes, dedicated bike lanes, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and a modern storm drainage system. Additional enhancements include new pavement markings and signage, upgraded traffic signalization, and roadway lighting. The corridor has experienced significant growth in recent years, and the improvements will ensure adequate mobility along this roadway, which is essential to sustaining this growth, maintaining an acceptable level of service, and supporting the transportation needs of residents, businesses, and visitors within the surrounding communities.

The Department of Transportation and Public Works (DTPW) initially planned to deliver the project as a �design-build;� however, the project was cancelled due to utility conflicts that could not be addressed. Following the contract cancellation, DTPW assumed the design contract and resolved the utility conflicts ahead of this procurement.

RECOMMENDATION
This contract award recommendation is for the project titled �Roadway Improvements to NW 58 Street from NW 97 Avenue to NW 79 Avenue, procured under Capital Project No. 20250068, between Miami-Dade County and Horizon Contractors, Inc., in the amount of $17,933,304.63 for a 730-day term.

BACKGROUND:
The existing segment of NW 58 Street features four lanes with a striped center turning lane. However, the roadway lacks sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and dedicated bicycle facilities. The existing guardrail on the north side, adjacent to the canal, does not meet current resistance standards and must be upgraded. Additionally, the traffic signals require timing optimization and other improvements, and new roadway lighting is necessary throughout the corridor to enhance safety and visibility.
