A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF MIAMI GARDENS, FLORIDA, APPROVING
THE OWNERSHIP OF THE BRIDGES AND TUNNELS AROUND THE STADIUM, AND AUTHORIZING
THE CITY MANAGER TO EXECUTE THE FDOT FUNDED AGREEMENT; PROVIDING FOR THE
ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING FOR AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
Staff Summary:
Background:
On July 13, 2016, Council approved resolution 2016-125-3024 urging the Florida Department of
Transportation (FDOT) and the Florida Turnpike Enterprise to provide and expedite funding and
permitting for the construction of pedestrian bridges and tunnels around the stadium. The project assists
in the improvement of pedestrian safety (residents and visitors) and vehicle traffic flow on such a heavily
traffic area around the stadium.
Per the resolution, the City would not expend any funds for these projects totaling $17,857,125.00
(includes the design along with the construction, consultant to inspect the project, and the City’s
administrative costs). The City’s involvement will be to bid out the design-build project, the administrative
work for reimbursement of the FDOT funds for the total project, and take ownership of the bridges and
tunnels under easements.
18605 NW 27th AVE
Miami Gardens, Florida 33056
Current Situation:
Since resolution 2016-125-3024 only called out for just facilitating the funds for the project and only enter
into an agreement for just that purpose, FDOT now requires the City take ownership of the bridges and
tunnels through the FDOT funded agreement to be executed. However, the operations and maintenance
of the bridges and tunnels will be provided by the stadium per another agreement between the City and
Stadium, which is on a separate resolution. The City will not fund any maintenance or operations of the
project elements.
Fiscal Impact:
There is no fiscal impact.
Proposed Action:
It is recommended that the City Council approves the ownership of the bridges and tunnels, and
authorize the City Manager to execute the FDOT Funded Agreement.
