Design.
Project Scope:
Design and construction of stormwater infrastructure and associated roadway improvements including new and upsized stormwater inlets and pipes, exfiltration trenches, gravity drainage wells, roadway reconstruction, milling and resurfacing, ADA ramps, signage and pavement markings. This project also includes a requested Joint Participation Agreement (JPA) with Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (MDWASD) for water main system betterments. The project scope was revised to exclude NW 29 St between NW 6 Ct and NW 14 Ave and NW 10 Ave between NW 28 St and NW 29 Ter due to limited funding. Drainage analysis was performed to ensure the removal of these streets would not impact the overall drainage flow.
