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

Resolution ratified two Local Agency Program Agreements with the Florida Department of Transportation for Safe Routes to School design services. The agreements are FM No. 447597-1-38-01 for North Miami Beach Senior High School valued at $96,229 and FM No. 447600-1-38-01 for Homestead Middle School valued at $172,524, for a total of $268,753. The resolution authorizes the County Mayor or designee to execute contracts, agreements, and amendments as required by LAP guidelines, and to apply for, receive, and expend additional funds. The agreements were executed on 10/10/2025. The resolution was introduced on 6/22/2026 and adopted on 7/21/2026. The projects are located in Commission District 4 (North Miami Beach Senior High School) and Commission District 8 (Homestead Middle School). The Department of Transportation and Public Works will oversee the design phase, with Dalila Fernandez, P.E., School Section Head, monitoring the projects. The Miami-Dade County Public Schools submitted applications for the schools, and DTPW partnered with them since MDCPS is not a LAP-certified agency. Upfront funding is provided through DTPW General Fund allocation, to be reimbursed by FDOT. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
