South Drive Drainage and Roadway Improvement Project

The City is seeking a qualified contractor to construct the South Drive Stormwater and Roadway Improvement Project (the Project). The Project is intended to provide water quality, stormwater management through localized drainage improvements, roadway and landscape improvements and beautification along the South Drive corridor from NW 36th Street to the south and South Royal Poinciana Boulevard to the north, along South Drive (the Project Area). Additionally, the project will accommodate the safety of pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists by improving landscape features, roadway geometries (e.g. enhancing existing roundabout at the intersection of South Drive and Pinecrest Drive) as well as improving the stormwater management within the service area identified to reduce flooding in the area and thereby reduce flood impacts to private property and flood-related safety hazards to residents. This project considers the needs of the City of Miami Springs, and the main benefits of the project are: 1) Reduce flooding in low-lying areas within the service area and thereby reduce the threat of flood damage to private and public property. 2) Improve surface drainage to capture flood rains. 3) Improve groundwater quality. 4) Improve the water quality of surface drainage that outfalls into the C6 canal from the service area by reducing the sheet flow of rainwater to stormwater system connected to other outfalls. 5) Improve the environmental condition of the C-6 Miami Canal, the C-6 Miami River, and Biscayne Bay. 6) Provide roadway and sidewalk improvements to accommodate pedestrians, cyclists and vehicular activity, including a roundabout in the intersection of South Drive with Pinecrest Drive, that will improve pedestrian safety and beautify this section of roadway. The City of Miami Springs (City) owns, operates, and maintains the stormwater management system within its service area. The scope of work for the Project was prepared by the Citys Engineers, Bermello Ajamil and Partners, Inc. (BA). The proposed stormwater management system is designed to adequately capture (prevent longstanding flooding or ponding), treat and convey rainfall run-off for a 10-year 3-day storm within the service. Time is of the essence as to the performance of all obligations.
