Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners resolution to approve a contract award to Horizon Contractors, Inc. for roadway improvements to NW 58 Street from NW 97 Avenue to NW 79 Avenue, Project No. 20250068, for a term of 730 calendar days and a value of $17,933,304.63. The project entails complete reconstruction of the existing roadway to a four-lane roadway with continuous center turning lane, bike lanes, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, storm drainage system, pavement markings and signage, upgraded traffic signalization, and roadway lighting. The project is located primarily within District 12, represented by Commissioner Juan Carlos Bermudez. The Transportation Committee forwarded the item to the Board with a favorable recommendation on 7/14/2026. The Board agenda date is 7/21/2026. The contract is funded by Mobility Impact Fees. The project was advertised on 10/16/2025, and eight contractors submitted bids on 10/17/2025. Horizon Contractors, Inc. submitted the lowest base bid of $16,182,981.48. The contract amount includes a construction contingency allowance of $1,618,298.15 and other allowances of $132,025.00. The base contract amount is $16,182,981.48. The bid open date was 11/19/2025. The project was initially planned as design-build but was cancelled due to utility conflicts; DTPW assumed the design contract and resolved the conflicts. The existing segment of NW 58 Street features four lanes with a striped center turning lane, but lacks sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and dedicated bicycle facilities. The existing guardrail on the north side, adjacent to the canal, does not meet current resistance standards and must be upgraded. Traffic signals require timing optimization and other improvements, and new roadway lighting is necessary throughout the corridor. The annual estimated operations and maintenance costs are approximately $33,961.38. A 1.00% Small Business Development Goods & Services goal has been established for this project. The project manager is Fernando Mardones, DTPW Engineer III. The contract manager is Tiondra Wright, Chief. The project manager is Rene Idarraga, Chief.
