Board of County Commissioners · 2026-07-21 · resolution

Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-640-26 (File Number 261131) on July 21, 2026, approving a contract award to Horizon Contractors, Inc. for the capital project 'Roadway Improvements to NW 58 Street from NW 97 Avenue to NW 79 Avenue' (Project No. 20250068). The contract is for a term of 730 calendar days with a total value of $17,933,304.63, including a construction contingency allowance of $1,618,298.15 and other allowances of $132,025.00. The project involves complete reconstruction of the existing roadway along NW 58th Street in the City of Doral, resulting in a four-lane roadway with continuous center turning lanes, dedicated bike lanes, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, and a modern storm drainage system, plus new pavement markings, signage, upgraded traffic signalization, and roadway lighting. The project is funded by Mobility Impact Fees. The base contract amount is $16,182,981.48. The project was advertised on October 16, 2025, and eight bids were received on November 19, 2025. Horizon Contractors, Inc. submitted the lowest base bid. 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 July 14, 2026. The contract manager is Tiondra Wright, and the project manager is Rene Idarraga. The project manager for monitoring is Fernando Mardones. The company principal and qualifier is Jose M. Sanchez. The company address is 8175 W 32 Ave, Suite #2, Hialeah, Florida 33018. A 1.00% Small Business Development Goods & Services goal has been established. The estimated annual operations and maintenance costs are approximately $33,961.38. 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 project was initially planned as a design-build but was cancelled due to utility conflicts; DTPW assumed the design contract and resolved the conflicts. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
