CEI SERVICES FOR THE DADELAND SOUTH INTERMODAL STATION

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

Resolution 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 maximum compensation from $3,551,593.10 to $5,467,817.92, a fiscal impact 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. The CEI services support a design-build project valued at approximately $77 million. The supplemental agreement is needed due to a 264-day extension and additional scope to the design-build contract, including bus charging infrastructure, reconfiguration of the BRT platform, escalator replacements, and modifications to station access and circulation elements. The resolution was adopted on September 1, 2026. Public comment included Commissioner Cohen Higgins requesting clarification on the cost and expressing concern about the expansion of scope during transportation budget shortfalls; Commissioner Lopez expressing concern about approving additional scopes without knowing associated costs and questioning fairness to the competitive bidding process; Chairwoman Steinberg noting the late addition and lack of briefing; and Commissioner Gonzalez inquiring about the original bid and why new requirements were not factored into the original scope. The committee forwarded the item with a favorable recommendation on July 15, 2026.
