STAFF RECOMMENDATION
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Miami Dade County continues to advance the transformation of Miami International Airport (MIA) into a world class aviation hub through the expanded $12 billion Modernization In Action (M.I.A.) Plan. Aligned with the goals of MIA�s Forward Flight Team and the CARE MIA Advisory Board, the County�s long term capital improvement strategy also supports the mission of its general aviation airports (GAA). This strategy enhances general aviation facilities, expands capacity for private-sector businesses and corporate aviation, and strengthens the County�s airport system�s ability to provide regional mobility and drive economic growth across the County.

As these improvements advance, preserving the reliability and integrity of existing infrastructure remains essential to sustaining safe and efficient airport operations. To support this objective, the Miami Dade Aviation Department (MDAD), through this agenda item, is procuring the TMB Taxiway C East Extension Project for Miami Executive Airport (TMB). Among other improvements, this project will reconfigure and extend Taxiway C and construct a new taxiway (Taxiway D), which is critical to enhancing airfield capacity, improving operational efficiency, and ensuring environmental compliance by optimizing taxiing routes, improving vehicle access, and mitigating sustainability-related impacts.

This item seeks approval from the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to award a competitive construction contract to General Asphalt Co. LLC (General Asphalt) for TMB Taxiway C East Extension at TMB; Contract No W125A. HDR Engineering, Inc., the Engineer of Record, reviewed the project�s bid tally and determined that General Asphalt is fully qualified for award of this construction contract. General Asphalt�s base bid of $24,667,740.81 is well within an acceptable range of 1.28 percent below the $24,988,485.00 base estimate prepared by MDAD�s cost consultant, RIB US Cost, Inc.

The County has agreed to pay General Asphalt a total compensation amount of $27,202,351,18, which includes a 10 percent contingency of $2,466,774.08 and an Inspector�s General Fee of $67,836.29. The total contract term consists of 850 consecutive calendar days from the effective date of the Notice to Proceed.

RECOMMENDATION

SCOPE
The project consists of extending and reconfiguring Taxiway C, constructing the new Taxiway D, developing a new service road, and installing a 25,000-gallon Oil-Water Separator at TMB. To minimize disruptions to airport activity, the work will be executed in six (6) primary phases. The scope of work includes, but is not limited to:

BACKGROUND:
As part of the County�s M.I.A. Plan to improve GAA facilities and maximize economic growth potential, MDAD is undertaking this project to further its ongoing commitment to enhancing airport capacity, functional flexibility, and safety at TMB.

TMB is one of Florida�s busiest non-commercial aviation hubs serving corporate aviation, charter operators, pilot training, emergency medical and law enforcement flights, and private aircraft activity. Advancing projects such as the one outlined in this item ensures infrastructure reliability and increased operational efficiency of a critical regional asset. This initiative aligns with MDAD�s Airport Layout Plan and aims to address increasing air traffic demands while ensuring compliance with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Advisory Circular (AC) design standards. By optimizing the taxiway layout, this project will allow for more efficient aircraft routes, minimizing bottlenecks in ground operations. Additionally, this item supports the goals of MIA�s Forward Flight Team and the CARE-MIA Advisory Board, advancing modernization, operational improvements, enhanced passenger experience, and long term aviation growth across the County�s airport system.

Liquidated Indirect Costs recoverable by the Contractor shall be $846.60 per calendar day for each day the project is delayed up to 90 days due to a Compensable Excusable Delay. After 90 days, the recoverable Liquidated Indirect Costs by the Contractor, resulting from a Compensable Excusable Delay, shall be $846.60 per day.

On April 24, 2026, the County�s Strategic Procurement Department (SPD) issued its Compliance Review memorandum, concluding that a compliance review for W125A cannot be conducted due to the Interim Final Rule released by the U.S. Department of Transportation on October 3, 2025 (see Attachment �B� as attached).

This project remains subject to all other applicable federal requirements, including, but not limited to, Davis-Bacon Wage Rates.

A copy of the SPD Project Worksheet for W125A shows that this project is a DBE, and no measures are assigned to this construction project due to the Interim Final Rule, resulting in the temporary suspension of the requirements under the DBE Program. A copy of the SPD Project Worksheet is enclosed. (See Attachment �C� as attached)

In a letter dated May 1, 2026, addressed to MDAD, the Engineer of Record, HDR Engineering Inc., confirmed that the recommended low bidder qualifies for award of this construction contract. (See Attachment �D� as attached)
