WITH KIMLEY‐HORN & ASSOCIATES, INC. IN AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED ONE HUNDRED THOUSDAND DOLLARS ($100,000) 100,000) TO PROVIDE CONCEPTUAL DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION DOCUMENTS FOR THE CONSTRUCTION
OF A NEW PEDESTRIAN BRIDGE AT NW 175TH STREET AND NW 42ND AVENUE; PROVIDING FOR THE ADOPTION OF REPRESENTATIONS; PROVIDING AN EFFECTIVE DATE. Staff Summary: Background The City of Miami
Gardens received a grant of $1,000,000 to complete three school safety enhancement and educational projects from the Florida Department of Transportation (FDOT) under the ITEM K-5) CONSENT
AGENDA RESOLUTION Contract w/Kimley-Horn & Associates, Inc.
1515 NW 167 Street, Building 5 Suite 200 Miami Gardens, Florida 33169 Transportation Enhancement Program (TEP). The TEP is an element of the Federal Highway Administration’s (FHWA) Surface
Transportation Program that provides funds for the development of “non‐traditional” transportation projects. In August 2010, the City executed the required Local Agency Program (LAP)
Agreement. Thereafter, FDOT issued the Notice to Proceed (NTP) to the City to commence the design services for the three components of the grant: Project 1. Retrofit Existing or Construct
Pedestrian Bridge at NW 42 Avenue and NW 175 ST The existing canal crossing bridge at NW 175th Street and NW 42 Avenue which interconnects part of the community with a school is not
a pedestrian friendly bridge because of narrow sidewalk, no ADA accessibility and no safety buffer between vehicles and pedestrian. In addition, the sidewalk on the bridge is so narrow
that children walk on the street part of the bridge to get across to Carol City Elementary School. This creates a safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles. A proposed pedestrian bridge
will alleviate these unsafe conditions and permit the children to cross over the canal safely. Project 2. Safety Town To educate our children, a Safety Town will be constructed. A Safety
Town is a community‐based project designed to introduce and teach young children various aspects of safety. Through the use of age‐appropriate, hands‐on, interactive experiences, children
will enjoy learning behaviors and practices that can help reduce the chance of serious injury. Safety Town is a safe and interesting learning environment that is set up to simulate an
actual town. This portable site features mock buildings, sidewalks and streets, and is used as a practice area for safety lessons in a community. Project 3. Sidewalk Installation Sidewalks
need to be installed/repaired in many areas around the City due to safety concerns for children walking to school. These required sidewalks need to be added due to the safety of children
walking on the streets and/or through grass swale areas. ** Please note that Projects 2 and 3 are provided for informational purpose only and are not considered under this resolution.
They will be presented in a separate resolution at a future meeting.** Current Situation Staff prepared specifications to retain a FDOT pre‐qualified civil engineer/structural engineer
consultant to provide services required under a non‐exclusive services contract. The request for qualifications was prepared in accordance with Florida Statute 287.055 Consultants’ Competitive
