CEI SERVICES FOR THE DADELAND SOUTH INTERMODAL STATION

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

The Miami-Dade County Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-748-26, approving 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, a $1,916,224.82 increase, 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. The CEI services support a design-build project valued at approximately $77 million. The supplemental agreement is needed due to a 264-day extension to the design-build contract, which includes additional scope such as bus charging infrastructure, BRT platform reconfiguration, escalator replacements, and station access modifications. The Infrastructure, Innovation & Technology Committee forwarded the item with a favorable recommendation on 7/15/2026, and the final action was adoption on 9/1/2026. Public comment included Commissioner Cohen Higgins requesting clarification on costs and expressing concern about budget shortfalls, Commissioner Lopez expressing concern about approving additional scopes without knowing costs and its fairness to competitive bidding, and Chairwoman Steinberg stating scope changes and change orders warranted closer scrutiny.
