Board of County Commissioners · 2026-09-01 · resolution

The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-748-26 (File Number 261323) on September 1, 2026, authorizing Supplemental Agreement No. 1 with BCC Engineering, LLC for Construction, Engineering, and Inspection (CEI) services for the Dadeland South Intermodal Station project. The agreement increases the contract amount from $3,551,593.10 to $5,467,817.92, an increase of $1,916,224.82, funded by the People's Transportation Plan Bond Program. The project is located at the Dadeland South Metrorail Station, 9150 Dadeland Boulevard, Miami, Florida 33156, within Commission District 7. The design-build project is valued at approximately $77 million. The supplemental agreement supports a 264-day extension to the design-build contract (Contract No. CIP207-DTPW19-DB) approved by the Board on November 4, 2025 via Resolution No. R-1068-25. The expanded scope includes bus charging infrastructure, reconfiguration of the BRT platform, escalator replacements, and modifications to station access and circulation elements. The original PSA for CEI services was awarded on May 16, 2023 (Resolution No. R-462-23) to New Millennium Engineering, Inc., which was subsequently acquired by BCC Engineering, LLC. The design-build contract was approved on July 18, 2023 (Resolution No. R-698-23) with NV2A Group, LLC. The Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee forwarded the item to the Board with a favorable recommendation on July 15, 2026. The item was introduced on July 14, 2026. The final action was on September 1, 2026. The CEI services include contract administration, schedule and cost monitoring, inspection of civil, structural, electrical, and mechanical work, materials sampling and testing, quality assurance/quality control verification, coordination with stakeholders, and ensuring compliance with design criteria, safety requirements, and regulatory standards. The agreement is a time-and-materials contract with negotiated hours at contractually set rates. Payments average approximately $200,000 per month. The agreement term matches the construction contract, which was extended by 264 days beyond its initial term of approximately 300 days, for a total of nearly two years. The contingency allowance of $322,872.10 remains unchanged. The program name and number is Dadeland South Intermodal Station / 2000001203. The monitor is Bassam Moubayed, CFM, Chief, Construction Division, DTPW. The requester is Transportation and Public Works. The item was a late item and CITT required. The resolution authorizes the use of Charter County Transportation Surtax Funds for the Department of Transportation and Public Works included in the FY25-26 Adopted Capital Budget and FY25-29 Five-Year Implementation Plan of the People's Transportation Plan. The project was added to the Five-Year Implementation Plan in February 2020. The additional cost is attributed to the 264 days of work added to the construction project as a result of additional scope, including electric vehicle charging infrastructure and work in the kiss-and-ride area and bus station. The scope was added based on operational needs related to the bus rapid transit (BRT) service and new requirements from permitting agencies. The Board authorized the additional design scope through a supplemental agreement approved on November 2, 2025. The applicable National Fire Protection Association codes were still being written when the project was bid, and the more rigorous standards affected several County projects. The item also includes County-accepted design changes, including reconfiguring the bus pickup alignment from parallel to a seesaw design, escalator and elevator modifications, and added infrastructure for evacuation purposes. The evacuation requirements had not been included initially because the planning report had been vetted under the standards in effect at the time, which were subsequently modified before the project went to bid. Due diligence was conducted, including verification of corporate status and checks of various databases and listings, with no adverse findings identified.
