The Miami-Dade Board of County Commissioners adopted Resolution R-641-26 (File Number 260966) on July 21, 2026, authorizing Supplemental Agreement No. 1 with Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc. for Construction, Engineering, and Inspection (CEI) services for The Underline Phase 3, Segments 3 to 9. The agreement increases the maximum contract value from $6,000,000 to $8,252,721.83 and extends the contract term to 1,654 non-compensable calendar days. The project is a 7.36-mile multimodal corridor beneath the Metrorail system, including bicycle and pedestrian paths, bridges, landscaping, lighting, drainage, wayfinding, and related infrastructure improvements. The supplemental agreement is required to support expanded scope and extended schedule previously approved on December 16, 2025, under Resolution No. R-1235-25, with the design-build contractor NV2A Central Joint Venture. The additional CEI services support enhanced quality assurance through expanded materials testing, including a dedicated materials laboratory; increased inspection and coordination for added elements such as corridor-wide Wi-Fi and amenities; and extended construction oversight due to schedule impacts, including utility-related delays. The project is located within Districts 5 and 7, represented by Commissioners Vicki L. Lopez and Raquel A. Regalado. Funding is from Mobility Impact Fees (MIF), Program No. 2000000133, Fiscal Year 2025-26 Adopted Budget & Multi-Year Capital Plan, Volume 2, Page 164. The original CEI contract was approved on April 4, 2023, pursuant to Resolution No. R-294-23. Due diligence confirmed no adverse findings. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
