ITB INFORMATION & GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

1 ITB No.: 2025-487-MP

2 ITB Title: Dade Blvd Water Main (WM) Replacement - Gravity Sewer and WM on 19th Street

3 Date of Issuance: August 14, 2025

4 Project Description & Scope of Work:

The scope of work for this project includes the complete replacement of the existing 20-inch Ductile Iron Pipe (DIP) water main along Dade Blvd. (between N Michigan Ave and 23rd St) and the replacement of the existing 20-inch DIP water main and the existing 8-inch gravity sewer pipe along 19th St.(between Alton Rd. and N Michigan Ave). The existing water main is approximately eighty years (80) old and the gravity sewer pipe was built in 1925, both were prioritized in the master plans due to the high probability and consequence of failure. City records indicate that both systems have surpassed their useful/design life and have exhibited poor performance, with a history of leaks and structural failures. As part of this project, the City is looking to improve the gravity sewer and water main infrastructure, expand the flow capacity to support anticipated growth and demands, and enhance pressure and flows in the water transmission and distribution systems.

The scope also includes a design alternative to cover the full roadway restoration cost in lieu of area trench restorarion along Dade Blvd. This project alternative was agreed between the City and Miami Dade County through a Joint Participating Agreement (JPA). The JPA will cover the cost for the construction scope that includes the milling,resurfacing and roadway base restoration along Dade Blvd. from 17th Street to 23rd Street. Miami Dade County Commission is to approve and authorize the allocation of the project funds, if available.

Therefore, this project alternative shall only be considered if MDC Commission approves the funds.

The work set forth within the Contract Documents includes the furnishing of all labor, materials, equipment, services, and incidentals necessary to complete the required work described here including all appurtenant work, complete, tested, and ready for operation, including temporary utilities and facilities as required, all surveying work for layout construction and as-builts, all in conformance with these Contract Documents and the City of Miami Beach Public Works Standards https://www.miamibeachfl.gov/city-hall/public-works/manual-standards/
