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 complete reconstruction of NW 58 Street from NW 97 Avenue to NW 79 Avenue, Project No. 20250068. The contract value is $17,933,304.63, inclusive of a $1,618,298.15 construction contingency allowance and $132,025.00 in other allowances, for a term of 730 calendar days. The project will reconstruct the existing roadway into a four-lane roadway with continuous center turning lane, bike lanes, sidewalks, curbs and gutters, storm drainage system, pavement markings and signage, upgraded traffic signalization, and roadway lighting. The project is funded by Mobility Impact Fees. The project is located primarily within District 12, represented by Commissioner Juan Carlos Bermudez. The contract was awarded to Horizon Contractors, Inc., whose address is 8175 W 32 Ave, Suite #2, Hialeah, Florida 33018. The base contract amount is $16,182,981.48. The bid opening date was November 19, 2025, and eight bids were received. The three lowest responsive and responsible bids were: Horizon Contractors, Inc. at $16,182,981.48 (0.55% below the County's cost estimate), H&R Paving, Inc. at $16,662,061.25 (2.40% above the County's cost estimate), and General Asphalt Co., Inc. at $18,655,434.96 (14.65% above the County's cost estimate). 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. The project was advertised on October 16, 2025. The contract period is 730 calendar days with substantial completion occurring within 657 days from the Notice to Proceed. The annual estimated operations and maintenance costs are approximately $33,961.38. A 1.00% Small Business Development Goods & Services goal has been established for this project. The project manager is Fernando Mardones, DTPW Engineer III. The contract manager is Tiondra Wright, Chief, and the project manager is Rene Idarraga, Chief. 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. No public comment or stakeholder sentiment is stated in the document.
